E. The semilunar valves are closed.

Read the two statements provided and select the correct option:
I. Veins have valves which prevent the backflow of blood.

When the blood is present in the blood vessel, its fluidity must be maintained. When the blood comes out of the body, it should get clotted. When these two conditions are not maintained many abnormalities would occur in our body. Explain those abnormalities.
