B Correct answer
Explanation

The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. This is the only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood (all other arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart). In the lungs, blood picks up oxygen and returns to the heart via pulmonary veins. The kidney, liver, and spleen are not connected to the pulmonary circulation.
