Solution

The correct option is A Vena cavae
The heart is a muscular organ that is responsible for the pumping of blood throughout the body. It is divided into two parts- the right side and the left side.
The right side of the heart receives the deoxygenated blood whereas the left side distributes the oxygenated blood. This is carried out by tubular structures called blood vessels.
Vena cavae is responsible for the collection of deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior part of the body.
