The correct answer is option 2: arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the blood vessels. The highest blood pressure is found in the arteries, as they are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood at high pressure from the heart to the organs and tissues of the body. This high pressure is needed to ensure adequate circulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body`s cells. In contrast, veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart at a lower pressure. The ventricles and auricles are chambers of the heart, while veins are blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart.
