(B) The correct answer is $B$. Arteries are defined as the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to various organs of the body. While most arteries carry oxygenated blood,the pulmonary artery is an exception as it carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Therefore,the primary functional definition of an artery is based on the direction of blood flow (away from the heart) rather than the oxygen content of the blood.
