A
Artery
B
Vein
C
Capillaries
D
Vena cava
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Capillaries: These tiny blood vessels have thin walls. Oxygen and nutrients from the blood can move through the walls and get into organs and tissues. The capillaries also take waste products away from your tissues. Capillaries are where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged for carbon dioxide and waste.

Detailed explanation-2: -Capillaries connect arterioles to venules. They allow the exchange of nutrients and wastes between the blood and the tissue cells, together with the interstitital fluid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exchange of Gases, Nutrients, and Waste Between Blood and Tissue Occurs in the Capillaries. Capillaries are tiny vessels that branch out from arterioles to form networks around body cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Capillaries. The arteries eventually divide down into the smallest blood vessel, the capillary. Capillaries are so small that blood cells can only move through them one at a time. Oxygen and food nutrients pass from these capillaries to the cells.
