Answer:

a. circumflex artery

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumflex artery -

This artery branches in the left coronary artery and supplied the most of the left atrium , i.e. the lateral free walls of left atrium and part of the anterior papillary muscle .

This artery give a variable number of the left marginal branches in order to supply the left ventricle .

The largest branch is the terminal branch .

The occlusion of the circumflex artery can lead to the damage of the left ventricle .
