Solution

The correct option is D Septum
The heart has four chambers. The upper two chambers are called auricles and the lower two chambers are called ventricles. The left and the right side of the heart is separated by a wall called septum. The partition between the chambers helps to avoid the mixing up of blood rich in oxygen with blood rich in carbon dioxide.
