Solution

The correct option is C Semilunar valve
  • The aorta is the largest artery, in which the left ventricle pumps blood for distribution to the whole body.
  • The semilunar valves are present at the bases of the aorta and the pulmonary artery, consisting of three cusps or flaps which prevent the flow of blood back into the heart.
So, the correct answer is option C.
