Which vein brings the blood from the lower half of the body?
A
Inferior vena cava
B
Cartitod artery
C
Superior vena cava
D
Aorta
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The superior vena cava and inferior vena cava are very large veins that bring deoxygenated blood to your heart to get oxygen. Your inferior vena cava, your body’s largest vein, carries oxygen-depleted blood back to your heart from the lower part of your body (below your diaphragm).

Detailed explanation-2: -The inferior vena cava (IVC) (plural: inferior venae cavae) is one of the great vessels that drains venous blood from the lower limbs, pelvis and abdomen into the right atrium of the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxygen-poor blood returns from the body to the heart through the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC), the two main veins that bring blood back to the heart. The oxygen-poor blood enters the right atrium (RA), or the right upper chamber of the heart.
