Which statement describes arterial circulation?

Explanation:
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and in systemic circulation that blood is oxygenated. The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the aorta, the main artery that distributes it to the body. So this statement correctly describes arterial circulation: oxygenated blood leaving the left ventricle through the aorta. The other scenarios don’t fit arterial flow: blood leaving the left ventricle through the aorta is not deoxygenated, the right ventricle sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery rather than the aorta, and the brain receives blood from the carotid and vertebral arteries, not the coronary arteries which supply the heart muscle itself.
