Solution

The correct option is B pulmonary vein
Pulmonary artery and the Pulmonary vein are a set of blood vessels that are related to the lungs. The Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation, this oxygenated blood is carried back to the heart by the Pulmonary vein for systemic circulation i.e. for circulation to different parts of the body.
So, the correct option is 'Pulmonary vein'.
