    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is C.

    Statement 1 is incorrect – deoxygenated blood flows through the right side of the heart.

    Statement 2 is incorrect because blood from the vena cava enters the atrium.

    Statement 3 is incorrect because the pulmonary artery is one of the few arteries that carries deoxygenated blood.

    Statement 4 is correct because there are valves in the base of the aorta to prevent the backflow of blood into the ventricle, when the ventricle relaxes.
