Detailed explanation-1: -The pulmonary artery is shown in blue to denote that it carries deoxygenated blood. For representation purposes, the blood vessels carrying oxygenated blood are shown in red and those carrying deoxygenated blood are shown in blue.
Detailed explanation-2: -Such a blood vessel is known as Hepatic artery. Arteries generally carry oxygenated blood. But pulmonary artery is the artery that transmits deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the organs (like lungs and placenta, respectively) where it gets oxygenated. So, the right option is C i.e. Pulmonary.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart and therefore, the pulmonary vein is conventionally shown in red colour.
