Answer: C. Veins carry oxygen-poor blood, and arteries carry oxygen-rich blood.

Step-by-step explanation:
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and veins carry blood towards the heart. With the exception of pulmonary blood vessels, arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood.
