• A. Coronary arteries
• B. Hepatic arteries
• C. Carotid arteries
• D. Pulmonary arteries

Answer 1

The correct option is A Coronary arteries

• Coronary arteries are the arteries supplying blood to the heart. They are part of the coronary circulation, which transports oxygenated blood to the actual heart muscle. The heart requires a continuous supply of oxygen to function and survive, much like any other tissue or organ of the body.
• Hepatic arteries supply oxygenated blood to the liver, pylorus of the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, and gallbladder.
• Carotid arteries supply the head and neck with oxygenated blood.
• A pulmonary artery of the pulmonary circulation carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. It is the only artery in the human body to carry deoxygenated blood.
  
• So the correct option is A.
