Correct answer choice is :


B) Delivering a large volume of high-pressure blood to the body

Step-by-step explanation:

The aorta is the biggest artery in the body. The aorta begins at the head of the left ventricle, the heart's strong pumping chamber. The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle into the aorta into the aortic valve. The aorta gives oxygenated blood to all parts of the body through the systemic distribution.
