sinusoidal capillaries

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Continuous capillaries are the least permeable type of capillary, allowing only small solutes to pass across the capillary wall. These are found in areas such as the brain, lungs, and muscles. Fenestrated capillaries contain pores or fenestrations and are more permeable than continuous capillaries.
Detailed explanation-2: -Continuous capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in your vascular system. They connect your arteries to your veins. They also support your brain, endocrine system, kidneys, lungs and small intestines.
Detailed explanation-3: -Capillaries are so small they can only be seen under a microscope. The walls of the capillaries are permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen moves from the capillary toward the cells of the tissues and organs.
Detailed explanation-4: -A sinusoid capillary (or sinusoid) is the least common type of capillary and the most permeable. Sinusoid capillaries are flattened, and they have extensive intercellular gaps and incomplete basement membranes, in addition to intercellular clefts and fenestrations.
