A
a full supply of oxygen
B
impurities that must be removed by the liver
C
a high percentage of carbon dioxide
D
all the wastes to be delivered to the organs of excretion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber. The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body from the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Like all other tissues in the body, the heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood to function. Also, oxygen-depleted blood must be carried away. The coronary arteries wrap around the outside of the heart.
