veins
B
plasma
C
arteries
D
capillaries
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your pulmonary arteries carry blood from your heart to your lungs. They’re the only arteries in your body that carry oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood comes into the right atrium from the body, moves into the right ventricle and is pushed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. After picking up oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out to the body’s tissues through the aorta.
