Correct answer: B. Pulmonary trunk

Explanation

When the right ventricle contracts, the blood is passed to the pulmonary trunk. The right ventricle is one of the four chambers of the heart, and it is responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood received from the right atrium. When the right ventricle contracts during systole, it pushes the deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary valve and into the pulmonary trunk.
