A
arterial bleeding
B
capillary bleeding
C
venous bleeding
D
hemorrhage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because the blood comes from the arteries, it is distinctive from the other types of bleeding. For example, the blood is bright red due to it containing oxygen. It also comes out in spurts and pulses, which correlate to the beats of the heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -ARTERIAL bLEEDING If an artery is injured, it can result in very severe bleeding. Arteries contain oxygenated blood and have high blood pressure, and so the blood from arterial bleeding is categorized by spurts of bright red blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lacerations, punctures, and amputations can result in arterial bleeding, which is characterized by spurting or pulsatile, bright red blood. [6] These wounds can also result in venous bleeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -With venous bleeding, the blood runs out from the wound site at a steady rate. The color of the blood with venous bleeding is dark red to purplish in color. With arterial bleeding, the blood comes from the artery and pumps out with each heartbeat. The blood can also spurt out with arterial bleeding.
