A
transports blood which is carrying oxygen through the body
B

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The circulatory system (cardiovascular system) pumps blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen. The heart then sends oxygenated blood through arteries to the rest of the body. The veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart to start the circulation process over.

Detailed explanation-2: -Red blood cells squeeze through narrow capillaries in single file. Haemoglobin molecules inside red blood cells pick up and carry the oxygen. These oxygen-rich cells travel in the blood vessels from the lungs to the left side of the heart. The blood is then pumped around the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cardiovascular system is the transport system of the body, responsible for circulating oxygen and transporting nutrients throughout the body. In addition to providing oxygen and nutrients, blood also helps cleanse the body by collecting waste products like carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and takes away wastes. The heart pumps oxygenated and deoxygenated blood on different sides. The types of blood vessels include arteries, capillaries and veins.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
