Solution

The correct option is D Pulmonary vein
There are two types of blood vessels such as arteries and veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to other body parts except for pulmonary artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to lungs. Veins carry deoxygenated blood from other parts of the body to the heart except for pulmonary vein that carries oxygenated blood from lungs to the heart. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
