Answer:

A) Mitral valve

Explanation:

Mitral valve is the bicuspid atrioventricular (AV) valve that is present between left atrium and left ventricle. Since it has two cusps (triangular flaps of tissue), it is called as bicuspid valve. Function of mitral valve is to direct the flow of blood and prevent any back flow of blood from left ventricle to left atrium.
