Solution

The correct option is B No oxygen would reach the cells
A two-chambered heart with the vena cava entering the auricle and the aorta leaving the ventricle would totally by pass the pulmonary circuit. As a result, the blood would never reach the lungs and would never pick up a fresh supply of oxygen to take to the cells.
