B) inferior vena cava.
C) superior vena cava.
D) coronary vessels.
E) hepatic portal vein.

Blood traveling from the intestines to the liver travels through the hepatic portal vein. This vein carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract, spleen, and pancreas to the liver for processing and detoxification before returning it to the heart. Option A (pulmonary vein) carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, option B (inferior vena cava) carries deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body to the heart, option C (superior vena cava) carries deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body to the heart, and option D (coronary vessels) supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.
