Solution
The correct option is B Pulmonary artery The largest artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and picks up oxygenated blood from the left ventricle. The only artery that picks up deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery, which runs between the heart and lungs. The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and takes away wastes.
