Blood travelling to and from the lungs
B
Blood travelling to and from the body
C
A blood clot in the lungs
D
The vessel that brings blood to the lungs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pulmonary circulation transports oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle to the lungs, where blood picks up a new blood supply. Then it returns the oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the heart and the lungs. It transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then flows back to the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the capillaries the blood takes up oxygen from the air breathed into the air sacs and releases carbon dioxide. It then flows into larger and larger vessels until the pulmonary veins (usually four in number, each serving a whole lobe of the lung) are reached.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pulmonary circulation: It is the type of circulation where the unoxygenated and oxygenated blood is circulated in the lungs and heart, this occurs in the heart and lungs where pulmonary refers to lungs. This process mainly converts deoxygenated blood to oxygenated blood.
