This artery is the only artery in the body to carry deoxygenated blood:
A
Aorta
B
Pulmonary Artery
C
Coronary Arteries
D
Hepatic Arteries
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The blood here passes through capillaries adjacent to alveoli and becomes oxygenated as part of the process of respiration. In contrast to the pulmonary arteries, the bronchial arteries supply nutrition to the lungs themselves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood that has a low oxygen saturation compared to blood exiting the lungs is referred to as deoxygenated blood. Venous blood is another name for deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery transports deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The function of the pulmonary arteries is to transport the deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it can be reoxygenated through diffusion. They are still called arteries because they transport blood away from the heart, regardless of whether or not the blood is deoxygenated or oxygenated.
