A Correct answer
Explanation

The bicuspid valve (also called the mitral valve) is located between the left atrium and left ventricle. It prevents backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium when the ventricle contracts. The tricuspid valve is between the right atrium and right ventricle. Atria are separated from each other by the interatrial septum, not a valve.
