Solution

The correct option is B Pulmonary artery.
The right ventricle is one of four of the hearts chambers and is located in the lower right portion of the heart below the right atrium and opposite the left ventricle. As deoxygenated blood flows into the right atrium, it passes through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle, which pumps the blood up through the pulmonary valve and through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. So, the correct answer is option B.

Q. Read the statements and select the option which best describes the process that occurs during systematic circulation.
(i) The left atrium receives the oxygenated blood through the pulmonary veins. The left ventricle pumps the blood through the aorta to various parts and the de-oxygenated blood reaches right atrium.
(ii) The left atrium receives the oxygenated blood through pulmonary veins and pumps the blood through the aorta to various parts and the de-oxygenated blood reaches the right atrium.
(iii) The left atrium receives de-oxygenated blood and pumps into left ventricles which in turn pumps into pulmonary artery for oxygenation.
(iv) The right atrium receives the de-oxygenated blood and pumps into pulmonary artery for oxygenation.
