Capillaries enlarge to become ____, which take blood to the veins.
A
arterioles
B
veins
C
venules
D
arteries
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood leaves the capillary and enters the small venules. These venules become progressively larger vessels called veins. The vena cava are the two largest veins that carry blood into the right upper chamber of the heart (the right atrium).

Detailed explanation-2: -Your blood enters your venules before joining up with your veins. Your veins then carry your blood back to your heart where it can refuel. This oxygen-poor blood enters your heart through two large veins called your superior vena cava and inferior vena cava.

Detailed explanation-3: -The capillaries, where the gaseous exchange occurs, merge into venules and these converge to form larger and larger veins until the blood reaches either the superior vena cava or inferior vena cava, which drain into the right atrium.
