Which statement best describes Arteries?

A) They have thin walls and transport blood away from the heart B) They have thick walls and transport blood toward the heart
C) They have thin walls and transport blood toward the heart D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart

Explanation:

Because arteries have to have thick walls for use of protection. Its when you get to veins where the walls get thinner. And the use of the heart is to pump blood to all of the cells and organs in the body so it would be to transport blood away from the heart.

i.e. 

Arteries = Away from the Heart 
Veins = Back to the Heart.
