D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is A True. Bicuspid valve : It is present between the left atria and left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, the mitral valve is the only bicuspid valve and this is situated between the heart’s left atrium and left ventricle. Heart valves play a crucial role in ensuring the unidirectional flow of blood from the atrium to the ventricles, or from the ventricle to the aorta or pulmonary trunk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conversely, a bicuspid valve works better on the high pressure side because with only two sides to the valve, the muscles and ligaments are able to cover more area and be better able to spring back from the high pressure on the left side of the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitral valve. This valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
