Solution

The correct option is B Pulmonary vein
A blood vessel carrying blood from the lungs to the heart is pulmonary vein. There are four pulmonary veins, two from each lung that drains into the left atrium of the heart. Pulmonary veins are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart. This differentiates the pulmonary veins from other veins in the body, which are used to carry deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body back to the heart.
So, the correct answer is 'Pulmonary vein'.
