D
None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart, where it can be sent to the lungs. The exception is the network of pulmonary veins, which take oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -The inferior and superior vena cava bring oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium. The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complete answer: Veins are the blood vessels that conduct blood from different body parts back to the heart. All veins are carried deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein which carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
