The correct answer is: Right

The brachiocephalic trunk, also known as the brachiocephalic artery, is a major branch of the aorta that supplies blood to the right side of the head, neck, and arm. It is a unique artery found only on the right side of the body. The brachiocephalic trunk divides into the right subclavian artery and the right common carotid artery, providing important blood supply to the structures on the right side of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
