The phase of the heartbeat when the ventricles contract, pumping blood out of the heart and into the arteries.
Pulmonary Trunk
The main vessel transporting deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs.
Pulmonary Arteries
Blood vessels carrying deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
During ventricular systole, both the aorta and pulmonary trunk receive blood from the ventricles. The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the systemic circulation while the pulmonary trunk carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood back to the left atrium, but they do not receive blood during ventricular systole.
