    • LUNGS

    • LIVER

    • KIDNEY

    Correct Answer
    A. HEART
    Explanation
    The heart is the correct answer because it is the organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. It acts as a muscular pump, continuously contracting and relaxing to circulate oxygenated blood to all the organs, tissues, and cells in the body. The heart has four chambers - two atria and two ventricles - that work together to ensure proper blood flow. Without the heart's pumping action, the body would not receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients required for survival.
