I wrote the answer as 3, but is wrong. Which one is the correct answer?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is actually option 1, the aorta. The aorta is the main artery in the body that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The blood in the aorta contains high oxygen concentration because it has just been pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart, which receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs. In addition, the blood in the aorta has a high pressure since it is being pumped directly from the heart's left ventricle. On the other hand, the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, and the vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart.
