Answer: The correct answer is-

As blood flows through the capillaries in the lungs, it drops off and picks up carbon dioxide and oxygen respectively.

Deoxygenated blood ( carrying carbon dioxide) reach lungs from right ventricle of heart via pulmonary artery, which decreases diameter and forms capillaries on the alveoli ( tiny air sacs in the lungs for the gaseous exchange).

Thus, oxygen is taken up by the blood ( so as to transport it to the rest  of the body) whereas carbon dioxide ( which is a waste product of metabolism in the body) is dropped at lungs, which is then released out of body through exhalation.

Carbon dioxide is discarded while oxygen is picked up. Thus, blood becomes rich in oxygen again.
