Solution

The correct option is B veins
All veins except the pulmonary vein carry deoxygentaed blood i.e., blood having more concentration of carbon dioxide. They bring blood from all parts of the body to the heart. This occurs as all the oxygen from blood is transferred to the cells, and the carbon dioxide, released by the cells, is transferred to the blood.
