None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Venules receive blood from capillaries. Veins: Unlike arteries, veins don’t have to carry highly pressurized blood, but they do have to carry large volumes of deoxygenated blood back to your heart. Thin, less elastic walls help them handle high volumes and low pressure.
Detailed explanation-2: -In general, blood pressure decreases from arteries to veins, and this is because of the pressure overcoming the resistance of the vessels.
Detailed explanation-3: -The venous side of the circulation is a low-pressure system compared with the arterial side. Pressure within the named veins is usually between 8 and 10 mmHg, and CVP is 0–6 mmHg (3, 9).
