<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Our body contains miles of arteries and arterioles, yet these structures are nothing more than the vascular highways that provide a pathway for the blood. It's only when our blood reaches the tiny capillaries that nutrients and wastes can be exchanged. Capillaries are microscopic blood vessels that connect the arterioles with the venules. We'll discuss venules later in the lesson.
  • Capillaries are grouped together in capillary beds, which are simply a network of capillaries. Capillary beds are too small to see, but if you could see them, they would look like endless alleyways leading to virtually every tissue in our body. The rate of blood flow within a capillary bed is slow because there are so many different alleyways through which blood can travel. This slow speed limit, along with the very thin walls of the capillaries, means that capillary beds are an ideal place for the exchange of gases, nutrients, hormones, and wastes between the blood and tissue cells.
  • Hence, the right answer is option b "two capillary beds".

Reil [10]
If a woman takes HIV medicines during pregnancy and childbirth and her baby receives HIV medicines for 4 to 6 weeks after birth, the risk of transmitting HIV can be lowered to 2% or less. Most HIV medicines are safe to use during pregnancy, and don't increase the risk of birth defects.

In general, the infected mother should simply stay healthy and intake HIV medicines while she is pregnant.
