Solution

The correct option is D Capillary
The capillaries have only a thin lining of endothelium with no muscular walls. The main function of capillaries is the exchange of gases and nutrients from the blood to the cells and back to the blood. Hence, it has very thin walls for proper facilitation of exchange. It does not need to pump blood.
