The correct answer is option 3: Aorta.

When the left ventricle in the human heart contracts, it pushes oxygen-rich blood into the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body and it carries the oxygenated blood to all the organs and tissues of the body. From the aorta, smaller arteries branch out to supply blood to different parts of the body, including the brain, kidneys, liver, and muscles.

Options 1 and 4 are incorrect. The brain receives blood from the carotid arteries, which branch off from the aorta. The lungs receive blood from the right side of the heart, not the left ventricle.

Option 2, the pulmonary artery, carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, so it is not the correct answer in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: Aorta.
