Which blood vessels carry blood back to the heart?

  1. Arteries

  2. Capillaries

  3. Veins

  4. Venules

The correct answer is: Arteries

Arteries carry blood away from the heart, while veins carry blood back to the heart. In this case, the correct answer is "Arteries" because they transport blood in the opposite direction. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels where gas exchange occurs, and venules are small veins that connect capillaries to larger veins.
