Hint: Artery is a blood vessel that takes blood away from the human heart to all parts of the body tissue , brain , lungs etc.The arteries are the part of the circulatory system which is responsible for the supply of Oxygen and nutrients to all cells as well as removal of carbon dioxide and water products from all cells.

Complete step by step answer:
-Pulmonary artery is the artery that does not carry oxygenated blood .
-The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs . The blood passes through capillaries adjacent to alveoli and becomes oxygenated as part of the process of respiration .
-Systemic arteries are the arteries of the systemic circulation which is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart that means to the body and it also carries the deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
-Hepatic artery is a short blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the liver , pylorus of the stomach , duodenum , pancreas and the gallbladder . It arises from the celiac artery .
-The cardiac arteries are also called the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries are the arterial blood vessels of coronary circulation , which transport oxygenated blood to the heart muscle that requires a continuous supply of oxygen to function and survive much like any other tissue or organ of the body .

So, the correct answer is ( C ).

Note:
-Arteries also help in the maintenance of optimum blood pH .
-They also help in the circulation of proteins and cells of the human immune system.
-Umbilical arteries also carry deoxygenated blood .
