The correct answer is arteries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and distribute it to various parts of the body.

The blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries. To arrive at this answer, you can remember the basic structure and function of the circulatory system. The heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, and it does so using a network of blood vessels. The arteries function to carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and deliver it to different parts of the body. So, in this case, the correct answer is "arteries."
