The aorta (generally pronounced /eɪ.oʊɹ.tə/ or "ay-orta") is the largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart and bringing oxygenated blood to all parts of the body in the systemic circulation.

The answer is C. Blood comes from the body into the vena cava which empties into the right atrium. It then goes into the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins which empty into the left atrium. Then blood enters the left ventricle and is pumped out to the body via the aorta.
