Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The walls of the left ventricle is thick as compared to the right ventricle this is because the arterial pressure in the left ventricle is more as compared to the right one.

The resistance in the (left) systemic circuit is 10 times greater than the pulmonary circuit.

The right ventricle needs to send blood to the lungs only but the left ventricle needs to send blood to the whole body and hence it needs to be more thicker as compared to the right one.
