Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Heart is an organ that is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood from heart to various parts of the body.

The deoxygenated blood from various parts of the body comes into heart by veins and then oxygenated blood is transported from the heart to various parts of the body by artery.

The exception is that Pulmonary veins of heart are responsible for the carrying oxygenated blood from lungs back to the left atrium of the heart.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
