None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Arterioles carry blood and oxygen into the smallest blood vessels, the capillaries. 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-2: -Through the thin walls of the capillaries, oxygen and nutrients pass from blood into tissues, and waste products pass from tissues into blood. From the capillaries, blood passes into venules, then into veins to return to the heart.
