Solution

The correct option is D left ventricle, left atrium
Mitral valve is also called a bicuspid valve and it is present between the left ventricle and left atrium. The flow of blood is always from atrium to ventricles. The backflow of blood is prevented by the valves present between the auricles and ventricles.

The valve present between the right atrium and right ventricle is called a tricuspid valve. Aorta carries the oxygenated blood from the left ventricle.
