The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for an artery that carries carbon dioxide-rich blood, which is contrary to the typical function of arteries. 2. **Identifying the Exception**: While most arteries carry oxygen-rich blood, there is an exception in the circulatory system. 3. **Naming the Artery**: The artery that carries carbon dioxide-rich blood is the **pulmonary artery**. 4. **Function of the Pulmonary Artery**: The pulmonary artery transports blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. This blood is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. 5. **Role in Gas Exchange**: In the lungs, the blood releases carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen, thus becoming oxygen-rich blood before it returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins. **Final Answer**: The pulmonary artery is the artery that carries carbon dioxide-rich blood. ---
