Final answer:

The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is incorrect concerning ventricles is option a) The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body.

In reality, the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body, while the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

Ventricles are indeed the lower chambers of the heart, and they are separated by the septum.
