The correct option is "A vein differ from an artery in having valves to control direction of blood flow towards heart."
Explanation:
- Oxygenated blood is carried by arteries (blood vessels) away from heart to the body.
- While blood vessels that carry de-oxygenated blood back to the heart for re-oxygenation are known as veins.
- Arteries do not have valves since the pressure from the heart keeps the blood running through them in opposite direction from heart.
- Unlike arteries, veins need valves because they need to keep the blood running in the direction of the heart.
