Answer

A is false but R is true.

ExplanationA is false because veins carry blood towards the heart, not away from it. Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
R is true because most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. The pulmonary veins are an exception as they carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.

Therefore, A is false but R is true is the correct option.
