Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the anatomy of the circulatory system and the role of arteries in transporting oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of the body.

Step 2: Recall that the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, and is not involved in supplying blood to the forearm or hand.

Step 3: Note that the femoral artery is located in the thigh and supplies blood to the lower limb, making it irrelevant to the forearm and hand.

Step 4: Recognize that the carotid artery is responsible for supplying blood to the head and neck, not the forearm or hand.

Step 5: Identify the radial artery as the main blood supply to the forearm and hand, running along the lateral side of the forearm and contributing to the formation of the deep and superficial palmar arches in the hand.
