Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Crossing her legs while sitting can lead to increased pressure in the veins, which can cause blood to accumulate and potentially lead to varicose veins or blood clots. Arteries and capillaries are less affected by this posture. The left and right ventricles are chambers of the heart and not directly related to this scenario.
