C Correct answer
Explanation

Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself. The term 'coronary' comes from the Latin word for 'crown' because these arteries encircle the heart like a crown. Carotid arteries supply the brain, hepatic arteries supply the liver, and pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
