Solution

The correct option is D Veins
Blood vessels are found throughout the body. There are five main types of blood vessels: arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart. They may contain valves which stop blood flowing away from the heart.
So, the correct option is 'Veins'.
