Answer:

The correct answer is - To withstand the high pressure of the outflow of blood from the Heart.

Explanation:

The heart pumps blood to different body parts at high pressure so that it can easily reach all the parts of the body quickly. To able to hold the pressure of the blood pumped at high-pressure arteries need thick walls.

This pressure can be experienced as pulse and which required the walls of arteries and the middle layer or the tunica media to make it much thicker in arteries than in veins. In veins pressure caused by blood is very low pressure that allows them to be thin walls.

suppose that a recent flood devastated a wildlife preserve in your area. local leaders suggested organizing volunteers to plant
frez [133]
I think this is a good plan. In this way, it would stop flooding in the future. Trees help absorb water with their roots. It can absorb at least 20% of the flood water. 

However, there are also factors that would affect the trees from growing healthily. Some of the trees would not receive the right amount of energy and sediments can possibly be mix with the good soil.

It is best that we examine why the flooding occurred. There could be other possible reasons for flooding. It can be pollution caused by people throwing their garbages anywhere.
