Solution
The correct option is B Right ventricle A mammalian heart has 4 chambers. Upper two chambers are called atria whereas the lower two chambers are called ventricles. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle. Right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
