Formed and flexible
B
opens all the way so that the right amount of blood can pass through
C
Closes tightly so that no blood leaks back into the chamber
D
leaves an open so that blood comes out into any chamber
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The aortic valve doesn’t close properly, causing blood to flow backward into the left lower heart chamber (ventricle).

Detailed explanation-2: -Your doctor may also suggest surgery or another procedure to repair or replace a faulty heart valve. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, heart valve problems can lead to arrhythmia, infection, high blood pressure in the lungs, heart failure, or cardiac arrest.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aortic valve: This valve has three leaflets. They open to let blood flow from your heart’s left ventricle to the aorta. The aorta is the largest blood vessel in your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aortic valve regurgitation-or aortic regurgitation-is a condition that occurs when your heart’s aortic valve doesn’t close tightly. As a result, some of the blood pumped out of your heart’s main pumping chamber (left ventricle) leaks backward.
