Solution

The correct option is D A and R are false
Arteries, in general, carry oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to different body parts but the pulmonary artery is an exception. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs where the blood gets oxygenated. Hence both the statements are false.
