The hepatic portal vein carries blood from the spleen and intestines into the liver. The veins from the spleen and intestines break into capillaries before entering the liver as the hepatic portal vein.
The renal portal vein is involved in the movement of the blood from the renal glomeruli to the peritubular plexus that surround the proximal and distal convoluted tubules.
So, the correct answer is option C.
