Solution

The correct option is B Oxygenated blood to anterior region of body or to brain
Arteries that supply the head and neck with oxygenated blood are called as carotid arteries. The right common carotid originates in the neck from the brachiocephalic trunk. The left artery arises from the aortic arch in the thoracic region.
So, the correct answer is option B.
