A	pulomonary artery
B	aorta
C	pulmonary veins
D	vena cava

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A blood vessel is a tube that carries blood. Oxygen rich blood leaves the left side of the heart and enters the aorta. The aorta branches into arteries, which eventually branch into smaller arterioles. Arterioles carry blood and oxygen into the smallest blood vessels, the capillaries.

Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries. Blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. Veins. Blood vessels that carry blood from the body back into the heart.
