a) the pulmonary vein

Explanation:

Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood to the heart. Pulmonary veins are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart. There are two right pulmonary veins, known as the right superior and right inferior veins. The largest pulmonary veins are the four main pulmonary veins, two from each lung that drain into the left atrium of the heart. Artery: pulmonary artery Drains to: left atrium Drains from: lungs System: Circulatory system
