The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where blood loses the maximum amount of oxygen as it circulates through the body. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Alveolar Capillaries**: These are the capillaries surrounding the alveoli in the lungs where oxygen is taken up from the air. Here, blood gains oxygen, not loses it. - **Option 2: Left Atrium**: This chamber of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. Therefore, the oxygen concentration is still high here, indicating no loss of oxygen. - **Option 3: Arteries**: Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to various parts of the body. There is minimal gas exchange in the arteries, so the oxygen level remains high. - **Option 4: Tissue Capillaries**: These capillaries are located near the tissues where oxygen is delivered to cells. The cells consume oxygen for energy, leading to a significant drop in the oxygen concentration in the blood as it passes through these capillaries. 3. **Conclusion**: The blood loses the maximum amount of oxygen when it passes through the tissue capillaries because this is where oxygen is utilized by the tissues for metabolic processes. 4. **Final Answer**: The correct option is **4. Tissue Capillaries**. ---
