In which direction do veins generally carry blood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Towards heart
The governing concept is the direction of circulation in veins. Veins generally carry blood from body tissues back toward the heart, so option B is correct. This directional rule applies even though pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood; they still move it toward the heart. Option A describes the usual direction of arteries, while options C and D are not definitions of venous transport.
