veins

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: -But unlike the arteries, the venous pressure is low. Veins are thin-walled and are less elastic. This feature permits the veins to hold a very high percentage of the blood in circulation. The venous system can accommodate a large volume of blood at relatively low pressures, a feature termed high capacitance.
