Correct answer: C. Heart

Explanation
Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle itself. The heart, like any other organ, requires a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to function properly. The coronary arteries are responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle (myocardium), ensuring its continuous nourishment and providing the necessary resources for the heart to pump blood throughout the rest of the body. There are two main coronary arteries: the right coronary artery and the left coronary artery. These arteries branch out into smaller vessels, covering the heart's surface and penetrating into its muscle tissue, supplying blood to every part of the heart to keep it healthy and functioning optimally.

It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.
