Solution
The correct option is A Carry blood from an organ towards the heart.
The veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart. There is an exception, the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. However, all veins carry blood from some organ to the heart.
