The correct answer is:

Oxygenated blood to the body

Step-by-step explanation:

An artery meaning 'windpipe, the artery is a blood vessel that carries blood aside from the heart to all parts of the body (tissues, lungs, etc). Most arteries transport oxygenated blood; the two differences are the pulmonary and the umbilical arteries, which transport deoxygenated blood to the organs that oxygenate it. The adequate arterial blood volume is that extracellular fluid which stretches the arterial system.
