Blood gets brought into the left atrium via the
A
Pulmonary Artery
B
Vena Cavas
C
Right atrium
D
Pulmonary veins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your tricuspid valve opens to let blood travel from your right atrium to your right ventricle. When your right ventricle is full it squeezes, which closes your tricuspid valve and opens your pulmonary valve. Blood flows through your pulmonary artery to your lungs, where it gets oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Left atrium: one of the four chambers of the heart. The left atrium receives blood full of oxygen from the lungs and then empties the blood into the left ventricle.
