Solution

The correct option is D Right atrium
The sino-atrial (SA) node is a specialized bundle of neurons located in the upper part of the right atrium of the heart. The cardiac impulse originating from the SA node triggers a sequence of electrical events in the heart, thereby controlling the sequence of muscle contraction that pumps blood out of the heart.
So, the correct option is 'Right atrium'.
