Which one of the following accurately pairs the blood vessel type with its function? a. arteries – carry blood to the heart b. veins – carry blood away from the heart c. capillaries – work to exchange gases and nutrients with tissues d. aorta – carry oxygen-poor blood only

THIS IS THE BEST ANSWER 👇

C. Capillaries – work to exchange gases and nutrients with tissues

The arteries take the blood from the heart, these are the oxygen – enriched blood and of course the Aorta for that matter since it is the largest artery of the AORTA. Veins are the vessels that carry blood to the heart (Superior and Inferior Vena Cava)
