The answer is the second one: left atrium.

Explanation for each option:

  • Right atrium: Incorrect. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cavae, not from the pulmonary veins.

  • Left atrium: Correct. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.

  • Right ventricle: Incorrect. The right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.

  • Left ventricle: Incorrect. The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium and pumps it to the rest of the body through the aorta.

In summary, the pulmonary veins bring oxygenated blood to the left atrium.
