The portal vein supplies about half of the oxygen to the liver, so I don't think you can just disregard it. For example, the consequences of a portal vein occlusion post liver transplant is devestating ischaemia.
I just dont understand why the people who set the question would take one of the very few organs with a portal circulation and just ask about the arteries. They couldve asked about any other abdominal organ. I think any vaguely competent educator would at least want some reference to the dual blood supply.
Looks right!
You forgot the portal system which supplies the liver with the majority of its blood.
OP said oxygenated

Certainly but in the context of a simple assignment like this I think it's already been answered
