The correct answer to the question is:
(B) Solid with a pointed tip
Explanation:
1. Needles used for venipuncture are typically solid with a pointed tip. These needles are designed to puncture the skin and access a vein for blood withdrawal or to deliver medication.
2. Solid needles are commonly used in venipuncture procedures as they provide a precise entry point and allow for the collection of blood samples or administration of medications.
3. In contrast, hollow needles with an angled or blunt opening are more commonly used for tasks like injections, where fluids need to be delivered into the body rather than collected.
In summary, the needles used for venipuncture are solid with a pointed tip to ensure accuracy and efficiency during the procedure.
