Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

The pulmonary artery is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. It is the only artery in the human body that does not transport oxygenated blood. After the blood is oxygenated in the lungs, it returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins. The systemic artery carries oxygenated blood to the body from the left ventricle of the heart. The hepatic artery carries oxygenated blood to the liver, while the cardiac artery supplies blood to the heart muscle itself.
