B
Right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
C
Left ventricle pumps to the body including the lungs.
D

Detailed explanation-1: -The right ventricle (RV) pumps oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary valve (PV) into the main pulmonary artery (MPA). From there, the blood flows through the right and left pulmonary arteries into the lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Your lungs add oxygen to your blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to different body parts, while right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs. ‘

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to different body parts, while right ventricle pumps de-oxygenated blood to lungs. The heart is the main pumping organ of the body . Any problems in blood movement will impact the heart.
