Answer»

Correct choice is (d) The connection between artery and vein

Easy explanation: A fistula is also a disease but in this case, it is a connection between an artery and vein. It provides an access point for better withdrawal and injection of BLOOD, saline etc. It is surgically created by creating a SMALL LONGITUDINAL INCISION in an artery and vein facing each other and then they are joined together. This provides a better access point.
