Solution

The correct option is B Veins
Veins are the blood vessels, which carry blood from body organs to the heart.
Except the pulmonary vein (transfers blood from lungs to heart), All the veins carry deoxygenated blood. Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood. In veins, blood flows with low pressure and speed. The walls of the veins are thinner and placed just below the skin.
