Solution

The correct option is A Pulmonary

  • Arteries are vessels that carry blood away from the heart. The pulmonary artery transports blood from the heart to the lungs.
  • While most major arteries branch off from the aorta, the main pulmonary artery extends from the right ventricle of the heart and branches into left and right pulmonary arteries.
  • The left and right pulmonary arteries extend to the left lung and right lungs.
  • Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the tissues, except for pulmonary arteries, which carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.


So, the correct answer is option A.
