Solution

The correct option is C Oxygenated blood is pumped into the aorta and deoxygenated blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery
Systole is the period of contraction of ventricles. Due to contraction of the ventricles (ventricular systole), the pressure inside the ventricles rises, that force open the semilunar valves of aorta and pulmonary artery so that the blood enters into these vessels. Oxygenated blood is pumped into the aorta from the left ventricle while deoxygenated blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle.

So, the correct answer is- Oxygenated blood is pumped into the aorta and deoxygenated blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery
