The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Afferent and Efferent Vessels**: - Afferent vessels are those that carry blood towards a specific organ or structure, while efferent vessels carry blood away from that organ or structure. 2. **Identifying the Context**: - In the context of the kidneys, the afferent arterioles bring blood into the glomerulus, and the efferent arterioles carry blood away from the glomerulus. 3. **Nature of the Afferent Arterioles**: - The afferent arterioles are arterial in nature as they carry oxygenated blood from the renal artery into the glomerulus for filtration. 4. **Nature of the Efferent Arterioles**: - The efferent arterioles are also arterial in nature. They carry deoxygenated blood away from the glomerulus after filtration has occurred. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, both the afferent and efferent vessels are arterial in nature. The correct answer to the question is that both are arterial. **Final Answer**: The afferent and efferent vessels are arterial in nature. ---
