Do veins transport deoxygenated blood?

See below.
Explanation:
A vein with of blood full of carbon dioxide would be from the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, where it will release CO2 and pick up oxygen during respiration. Therefore, it is a pulmonary artery.

Most veins carry deoxygenated blood, except for the pulmonary veins, which carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left side of the heart.
Explanation:
The superior and inferior vena cavae are veins that collect and carry deoxygenated blood to the right side of the heart, where the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary arteries, which carriy it to the lungs to be oxygenated. From the lungs, the oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary veins to the left side of the heart, where the left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood through the aorta, which branches and transports oxygenated blood throughout the body.
Arteries transport blood away from the heart, regardless of whether the blood is oxygenated or deoxygenated.
Veins transport blood to the heart, regardless of whether the blood is oxygenated or deoxygenated.
