D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The left ventricle is the main pumping chamber of the heart and pumps blood to the body. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen. In most cases, the left ventricle is the first chamber to fail. Failure of the left side of the heart can be described as systolic or diastolic.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four chambers: the left atrium and right atrium (upper chambers), and the left ventricle and right ventricle (lower chambers). The right side of your heart collects blood on its return from the rest of your body. The blood entering the right side of your heart is low in oxygen.
