Based on the thesaurus entry and how the word is used in the paragraph, which word is the closest meaning for circulation and why is that meaning the best choice?

I’m giving Grandma a pair of mittens and booties I knitted for her to help keep her warm. She has poor circulation and feels cold all the time. The blood in her body doesn’t travel well to her extremities, so her hands and feet are always cold. Whenever Grandma touches my cheek, I jump because her hand feels icy cold.

Read the thesaurus entry.

circulation, n. delivery, distribution, flow, movement
