The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given statements is correct, we will analyze each statement regarding the afferent and efferent arterioles and venules. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement 1**: "Afferent arteriole is narrower than efferent arteriole." - The afferent arteriole is actually wider than the efferent arteriole. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Analyze Statement 2**: "Afferent venule is narrower than efferent venule." - In general, venules do not have a significant size difference as they are part of the same system. Thus, this statement is also **incorrect**. 3. **Analyze Statement 3**: "Efferent arteriole is narrower than afferent arteriole." - This statement is true. The efferent arteriole has a smaller diameter compared to the afferent arteriole. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Analyze Statement 4**: "Efferent venule is narrower than afferent venule." - Similar to statement 2, there is no significant size difference between the venules. Hence, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The correct statement among the options provided is **Statement 3: "Efferent arteriole is narrower than afferent arteriole."** ---
