Answer:

The correct answer would be "supplying oxygenated blood to the arteries that travel to all major body parts".

The aorta is the largest artery of the body which is connected to the left ventricle of the heart.

Thus, it receives oxygenated blood from the heart.

The aorta is divided into smaller and arteries and ultimately into capillaries including coronary arteries.

Thus, it transports the oxygenated blood from the heart to all parts of the body such as heart itself, brain, neck, abdomen et cetera.

The right answer is supplying oxygenated blood to the arteries that travel to all major body parts

Aorta is the principal artery of the body.

It starts from the left ventricle of the heart, passes through the thorax and abdomen to separate at the lower part of the abdomen, into two branches called common iliac arteries for the lower limbs. We talk about thoracic aorta then abdominal aorta along its path in relation to the anatomical position. All arteries in the body (carrying oxygenated blood) are directly or indirectly derived from the aorta except the pulmonary artery.
