Solution

The correct option is A
capillaries

Arteries divide into smaller vessels known as capillaries. These capillaries are very fine vessels which carry blood to every single tissue of the body and then they join up to form veins. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs at capillaries. Hence, capillaries form an important junction between the arteries and veins.
