Answer:

The Answer is B) body:lungs

Step-by-step explanation:

The body sends oxygenated blood (blood enriched with oxygen) to the body where oxygen is used and blood becomes deoxygenated. This blood when received in heart is pumped to Lungs where oxygen is taken up by blood through alveoli in our lungs. This way deoxygenated blood gets oxygenated and is pumped to the rest of the body and the cycle repeats.

All other options are wrong as blood can only get oxygenated at lungs through small air chambers called alveoli where oxygenation takes place.
