lungs; body
B
lungs; brain only
C

D
brain only; lungs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium. From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electrical pulses make your heart muscles squeeze and release. That action pushes blood through the two chambers on the right side of your heart and out to the lungs where it gathers oxygen. A vein then carries that oxygen-rich blood into the left side of the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -The blood enters the heart’s right atrium and is pumped to your right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood to your lungs. The pulmonary artery then carries the oxygen-poor blood from your heart to the lungs.
