Solution

The correct option is B capillaries

Capillaries are a network of blood vessels which emerge from arteries and reunite to form veins.

Being the thinnest blood vessels, only oxygen, glucose and water pass through the capillary walls and enter the cells.

Waste products such as carbon dioxide pass back from the cells into the blood capillaries and is taken back to the veins.
