A
inferior
B
larger in size
C
discharging chambers
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are one atrium and one ventricle on the right side of the heart and one of each on the left side. Both atria and ventricles have valves that assist in the pumping of blood. The ventricles have much thicker walls than the atria since they need to pump the blood much further and with more force.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ventricles of the heart have thicker muscular walls than the atria. This is because blood is pumped out of the heart at greater pressure from these chambers compared to the atria.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ventricles are the bottom two chambers of the heart, one on the left and one on the right side. They are larger, thicker and contain more myocardium than the atria.
