A
atria
B
veins
C
ventricle
D
arteries
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The heart is made up of four chambers. The upper chambers are the called atria and act as the receiving chambers. The lower chambers are called ventricles; these are the pumping chambers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right atrium receives blood from the superior and inferior vena-cava. And the left atrium receives blood from the lungs through pulmonary veins. So, these two are called the receiving chambers of the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your heart has a right and left side separated by a wall called the septum. On each side of the wall, there is a small collecting chamber called an ‘atrium’, which leads into a large pumping chamber called a ‘ventricle’.

Detailed explanation-4: -The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two atria are thin-walled chambers that receive blood from the veins. The two ventricles are thick-walled chambers that forcefully pump blood out of the heart.
