Solution

The correct option is A Capillaries
Capillaries are the smallest of a body's blood vessels, measuring 5-10 μm in diameter, which connect arterioles and venules, and enable the interchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrients and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.
So, the correct option is 'Capillaries'.
