Solution

The correct option is A Right atrium
Humans have a four-chambered heart with two atria and two ventricles.
There are two major veins, superior and inferior vena cava, which brings the blood from the body tissues to the heart.
The vena cava pours the deoxygenated blood from the tissues in the right atrium which then flows to the right ventricle.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
