Answer:

b. is compliant.

Explanation:

Arterial compliance is basically defined as an index of elasticity of large arteries.

Elastic artery contains a very large amount of elastin in all of its three layers hence it is extremely compliant i-e their abundant elastic fibers allow them to expand, as blood pumped from the ventricles passes through them, and then to recoil after the surge has passed.

<u>Hence b. is the right answer.</u>

While all the other options are wrong . As the elastic artery increases the blood flow so option A is wrong.

Elastic artery is not a rigid artery, it is elastic and compliant hence option C is also wrong.

Elastic artery has a thick wall to withstand high pressure hence option D is also wrong.
