D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The right ventricle pumps the blood from the right atrium into the lungs to pick up oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. The left atrium receives blood from the lungs. This blood is rich in oxygen. The left ventricle pumps the blood from the left atrium out to the body, supplying all organs with oxygen-rich blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right ventricle passes the blood on to the pulmonary artery, which sends it to the lungs to pick up oxygen. The left atrium receives the now oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the body through a large network of arteries.

Detailed explanation-3: -Right ventricle: Receives blood from the right atrium; pumps blood into the pulmonary artery.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
