(a) Name the only artery that carries carbon dioxide rich blood.

$\implies$Pulmonary Artery.

(b)Why is it called an artery if it does not carry oxygen-rich blood?

$\implies$They are called arteries because they transport the deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it can be reoxygenated through diffusion. They are still called arteries because they transport blood away from the heart.
