Solution

The correct option is C Aorta
The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The oxygenated blood is pumped from the left ventricle to the aorta which bifurcates into several arteries which again divides to form fine tube-like structure known as arterioles which finally forms capillaries.
So, the correct answer is option C.
