Solution

The correct option is C left ventricle
Oxygenated blood from the lungs reach the left atrium, following which the blood flows into the left ventricle. The left ventricle is the thickest of the heart's chambers, and is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to tissues all over the body. This also helps in reaching out to the rest of the body and deliver nutrients as well, to the cells and tissues.
