Blood that is dark red, and travels towards the heart is:

Venous blood.
Arterial blood.
Capillary blood.

Explanation

Answer: A - Venous blood is dark red because it is carrying deoxygenated red blood cells and carbon dioxide from the body to the heart. Since, unlike arteries, veins are not under the pressure from the heart, venous blood tends to ooze rather than pulsate if injury occurs to a vein.
