D.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to other organs.

The cardiovascular system and the respiratory system work together to ensure that oxygen is taken in through the lungs and transported via the blood to other organs and tissues throughout the body. The respiratory system facilitates gas exchange, allowing oxygen to enter the blood and carbon dioxide to be expelled.
