Solution

The correct option is D Receives blood from the rest of the body
The right side of our heart receives oxygen-poor blood from our veins and pumps it to your lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of our heart receives oxygen-rich blood from our lungs and pumps it through our arteries to the rest of our body.
So, the correct option is 'Receives blood from the rest of the body'.
