Solution

The correct option is D Coronary arteries
The vessels, that deliver oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium are known as coronary arteries. The right coronary artery supplies blood mainly to the right side of the heart. The right side of the heart is smaller because it pumps blood only to the lungs. The left coronary artery, which branches into the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery, supplies blood to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart is larger and more muscular because it pumps blood to the rest of the body.
So, the correct answer is option C.
