Solution

The correct option is B I and IV
Most arteries carry oxygen-rich or oxygenated blood whereas most veins carry carbon dioxide-rich or deoxygenated blood. Due to more levels of oxygen, blood in arteries appears bright red while blood in veins appears dark/dull red due to less oxygen. For illustrative purposes, arteries are represented with red and veins with blue.
