These have valves that prevent backflow of blood
A
arteries
B
veins
C
arterioles
D
capillaries
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aortic valve: Allows blood to pass from the left ventricle to the aorta; prevents backflow of blood into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer:The valve which prevents back flow of blood in the veins is Semilunar valve.

Detailed explanation-3: -Valves are found in veins to check the backflow of blood flowing under.

Detailed explanation-4: -If gravity or muscle contractions try to pull the blood backward or if blood begins to back up in a vein, the flaps are pushed closed, so the blood does not flow backward. Thus, valves help the return of blood to the heart-by opening when the blood flows toward the heart and closing when blood might flow backward.
