Solution

The correct option is B Left atrium and left ventricle
The heart has 4 chambers, 2 upper chambers called atria and 2 lower chambers called ventricles. The valves allow the unidirectional flow of blood from one chamber to another chamber. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. The bicuspid valve or mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It has only 2 flaps or leaflets.
So, the correct answer is option B.
