The Wall of the Left Ventricle Is Thicker Than the Wall

The wall of the left ventricle is thicker than the wall of the right ventricle because the

A) left ventricle must pump much more blood than the right ventricle so it must have stronger walls
B) right ventricle must pump much more blood than the left ventricle so it has a larger chamber to accommodate the blood and a correspondingly thinner wall
C) left ventricle must pump the same amount of blood into a higher-resistance, higher-pressure system
D) right ventricle must create higher tension within its walls
E) left ventricle must pump oxygenated blood, which requires more energy than pumping deoxygenated blood
