Answer – B. (Return blood to the lungs)
The function that capillaries serve in the cardiovascular system is to return blood to the lungs. The capillaries beds are the area where the excess carbondioxide produced by the cells are exchanged with oxygen. The deoxygenated blood is then transported by the capillaries through the circulatory system back to the lungs for reoxygenation
