Statement A is true regarding double circulation in the human body. Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium, then enters the left ventricle before being pumped to the rest of the body.

Double circulation involves two separate loops: the pulmonary circulation (heart to lungs and back) and the systemic circulation (heart to the rest of the body and back). The right side of the heart handles deoxygenated blood, while the left side handles oxygenated blood.

Option B is false because blood in the left side of the heart is rich in oxygen. Option C is false because deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart goes to the lungs. Option D is false because oxygenated blood is pumped from the left side of the heart to the body.
