Answer
A
the left atrium and ventricle of the heart ® blood vessels
B
the left ventricle and the aorta ® arteries
C
the left atrium and ventricle of the heart ® the aorta
D
the left ventricle and the aorta ® blood vessels

Explanation

The systemic circuit carries oxygen-rich blood from the left side of the heart to the body's tissues. Blood leaves the left ventricle through the aorta, then travels through blood vessels to the body. Choice D gives this sequence; choice B stops at the arteries and leaves out the rest of the blood vessels.
