Solution

The correct option is B Lungs
  • Deoxygenated (unpurified) blood comes into the right atrium of the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava which is then passed to the right ventricle and then to the lungs by the pulmonary artery.
  • In the lungs, this blood gets oxygenated (purified) which then goes into the left atrial chamber of the heart from which blood is passed to the aorta and then circulated to the whole body.
So, the correct answer is 'B'.
