The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the properties of both pulmonary and renal arteries, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Function of Pulmonary and Renal Arteries**: - The pulmonary arteries are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. - The renal arteries supply oxygenated blood from the heart to the kidneys. 2. **Evaluating Option A: "Contain oxygenated blood"**: - The pulmonary arteries do not contain oxygenated blood; they carry deoxygenated blood. Therefore, this option is incorrect for pulmonary arteries. 3. **Evaluating Option B: "Have internal valves"**: - Arteries, including both pulmonary and renal arteries, do not have internal valves. Valves are typically found in veins to prevent backflow of blood. Hence, this option is also incorrect. 4. **Evaluating Option C: "Deliver O2 to the organs they supply"**: - The pulmonary arteries do not deliver oxygen (O2) to the organs; instead, they transport deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Therefore, this option is incorrect for pulmonary arteries. 5. **Evaluating Option D: "Have a thick wall and narrow lumen"**: - This is a characteristic of all arteries. Arteries have thick muscular walls to withstand high pressure from the blood pumped by the heart, and they have a narrow lumen compared to veins. This option is correct for both pulmonary and renal arteries. 6. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all the options, the correct answer is **Option D: "Have a thick wall and narrow lumen."**
