Answer : 2. "K"
Explanation :

Answer: B) K Explanation: For neutral atoms, the periodic trends in atomic size can be described like this Atomic size decreases when going from left to right across a period,Atomic size increases when going from top to bottom down a group.   Let's use these trends to try and figure out which atom would have the largest radius. If you look at elements that are located in the same group, potassium will have a larger atomic radius when compared with sodium. Likewise, bromine will have a larger atomic radius when compared with chlorine. Now focus on potassium and bromine. Since potassium is located at the start of period 3, and bromine at the end of the same period, potassium will have a larger atomic radius than bromine, and thus the largest atomic radius of the four given atoms.

Answer : 4. "They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart"
Explanation :

Answer: D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart Explanation: Because arteries have to have thick walls for use of protection. Its when you get to veins where the walls get thinner. And the use of the heart is to pump blood to all of the cells and organs in the body so it would be to transport blood away from the heart. i.e.  Arteries = Away from the Heart Veins = Back to the Heart.
