Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The correct sequence for blood flow in the liver is from the liver sinusoids, which collect blood from the hepatic artery and the portal vein, into the central vein, and then it drains into the hepatic vein. This reflects the path of blood as it moves through the liver, being filtered and processed before returning to the systemic circulation.
