C
Allows blood to flow from the ventricle into the pulmonary trunk
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The semilunar valve that “sees” oxygenated blood is the c) Aortic valve.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your aortic valve opens to let blood flow from your left ventricle to your aorta. It closes to prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction. The closed valve keeps blood from leaking from your aorta back into your heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your main pulmonary artery and your aorta are the two great vessels that carry blood out of your heart. A crucial difference is that your pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood, while your aorta carries oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
