B) to carry blood to the lungs so carbon dioxide can be released and oxygen can be picked up.
The pulmonary circuit basically carries deoxygenated blood that leaves the right atrium of the heart so it can pick up oxygenated blood from the lungs; then the oxygen-rich supply returns back to the heart entering the left atrium.
