Answer:

The correct answer is option C) Tricuspid valve

Explanation:

The valve or boundary between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart is the Tricuspid valve. Deoxygenated blood collects within the right atrium and flows through the tricuspid valve so blood can enter in the right ventricle then blood leaves the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. The tricuspid valve contains three flap-like cusps that keep blood from getting back into the right atrium when it is closed.

So, the correct answer is the tricuspid valve
