The answer is the third one: coronary arteries.

Explanation for each option:

  • Coronary sinus: This is a large vein that collects deoxygenated blood from the myocardium and returns it to the right atrium of the heart. It does not supply blood to the myocardium.
  • Coronary veins: These veins collect deoxygenated blood from the myocardium and drain it into the coronary sinus. They do not supply blood to the myocardium.
  • Coronary arteries: These arteries branch off from the aorta and supply oxygenated blood to the myocardium. They are the source of blood carried to the capillaries in the myocardium.
  • Fossa ovalis: This is a depression in the right atrium of the heart, a remnant of the fetal foramen ovale. It has no role in supplying blood to the myocardium.

Summary: The coronary arteries are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood to the capillaries in the myocardium.
