Solution

The correct option is B Pulmonary artery
  • The artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart.
  • The pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries the deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
  • The opening of the pulmonary artery is guarded by the pulmonary valve, formed by three semilunar cusps.
So, the correct answer is 'Pulmonary artery'.
