I have a large lumen, thin muscular walls, and valves
A
Artery
B
Vein
C
Capillary
D
Arteriole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In other words, in comparison to arteries, venules and veins withstand a much lower pressure from the blood that flows through them. Their walls are considerably thinner and their lumens are correspondingly larger in diameter, allowing more blood to flow with less vessel resistance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Veins are generally larger in diameter, carry more blood volume and have thinner walls in proportion to their lumen. Arteries are smaller, have thicker walls in proportion to their lumen and carry blood under higher pressure than veins. Arteries and veins often travel in pairs using the same connective tissue pathways.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Most veins have valves that open and close.
