Solution

The correct option is C pulse in the artery
The heart is a muscle. It pushes oxygenated blood through the arteries, causing them to expand and contract in response to the flow of blood. So we can feel the expansions and contractions of the heartbeat or pulse in an artery.
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
