sorry if this is late

the answer is D

and il explain why

systemic circulation carries all of the oxygenated blood from your heart and lungs to all your body so the body can function better

pulmonary circulation brings deoxygenated blood into your lugs so your lungs and make it oxygenated again then pumps it back out to your body as oxygenated blood and so on and so on

D.

Systemic circulation supplies blood to body tissue, so it must be oxygenated. Pulmonary circulation brings blood to the lungs; the lungs oxygenate blood, so the incoming blood must be deoxygenated.
