Right Answer RightAnswer::A
Explanation [[Explanation::The truncus arteriosis gives rise to the ascending aorta and the pulmonary trunk.

Educational Objective: The truncus arteriosis gives rise to the ascending aorta and the pulmonary trunk. The bulbus cordis gives rise to the right ventricle and the smooth part of the left ventricle. The sinus venosum gives rise to the coronary sinus. The third aortic arch gives rise to to the common carotid artery and the proximal part of the internal carotid artery. The fourth aortic arch gives rise to the proximal part of the right subclavian artery.
