The answer is the second one (B): Femoral a., popliteal a., anterior tibial a., dorsalis pedis a.

Explanation for each option:

1. Deep femoral a., medial plantar a., posterior tibial a., plantar arterial arch: This path is incorrect because the deep femoral artery does not directly lead to the medial plantar artery. The medial plantar artery is a branch of the posterior tibial artery, which is not directly connected to the deep femoral artery.

2. Femoral a., popliteal a., anterior tibial a., dorsalis pedis a.: This is the correct path. The femoral artery continues as the popliteal artery behind the knee, which then branches into the anterior tibial artery. The anterior tibial artery continues down the leg and becomes the dorsalis pedis artery in the foot.

3. Internal iliac a., deep femoral a., popliteal a., posterior fibular a.: This path is incorrect because the internal iliac artery supplies the pelvic region, not the thigh or leg. Additionally, the posterior fibular artery is not a standard term used in describing the arterial path to the foot.

4. Lateral sacral a., femoral a., hamstring a., tibial a., dorsalis pedis a.: This path is incorrect because the lateral sacral artery supplies the sacral region, not the thigh or leg. The "hamstring artery" is not a recognized artery in the standard arterial path to the foot.

5. Femoral a., saphenous a., azygous a., anterior tibial a.: This path is incorrect because the saphenous artery is a vein, not an artery, and the azygous vein is part of the venous system in the thorax, not related to the arterial supply of the leg.

In summary, the correct path for a blood cell traveling from the thigh to the foot is through the femoral artery, popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery, and dorsalis pedis artery.
