interventricular septum
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The interventricular septum, also known as the ventricular septum, refers to the triangular wall of cardiac tissue that separates the left and right ventricles (i.e., the lower chambers) of the heart. The entire interventricular septum can be further divided into two parts: a muscular portion and a membranous portion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Muscular walls, called septa or septum, divide the heart into two sides. On the right side of the heart, the right atrium and ventricle work to pump oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. On the left side, the left atrium and ventricle combine to pump oxygenated blood to the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The interventricular septum (IVS) accommodates the ventricular portion of the conduction system and contributes to the mechanical function of both ventricles.

Detailed explanation-4: -cardiovascular system …a partition known as the interatrial septum; the lower chambers, the ventricles, are separated by the interventricular septum. The atria receive blood from various parts of the body and pass it into the ventricles.
