Solution

The correct option is C Arteries supply blood to the different parts of the body from the heart and veins carry to heart from the different parts of the body.
Arteries are blood vessel responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body, except for pulmonary artery that carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood low in oxygen from the body back to the heart for oxygenation. Except for pulmonary vein that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
So, option B is the correct option.
