Solution

The correct option is B

Due to higher pressure with which blood is pumped into arteries


The right ventricle has thinner wall because the right ventricle only has to pump it to the lungs but left ventricle has to pump blood all the way around the body. Moreover, the blood in arteries is under higher pressure than blood in the veins.
