c) The hepatic artery carries blood rich in nutrients but low in oxygen to the liver

Explanation:

Like all arteries, the hepatic artery is a vessel that carries blood rich in oxygen. It's originated in the common hepatic artery and is the supplier of oxygenated blood for the liver. The blood rich in nutrients but low in oxygen is carried to the liver by the hepatic portal vein.
