The answer is the first one (A): Right ventricle.

Explanation for each option:

A) Right ventricle - Correct. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs for oxygenation.

B) Left ventricle - Incorrect. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta, which distributes it throughout the body, not to the lungs.

C) Left atrium - Incorrect. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins, not the pulmonary artery.

D) Right atrium - Incorrect. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body via the superior and inferior vena cavae, not from the lungs.

In summary, the right ventricle is the chamber of the heart that connects to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
