Solution

After the ventricles of the heart complete their contraction, all four chambers of the heart relax for a brief interval. This is a part of the cardiac cycle known as diastole. During this time, the heart fills with blood and prepares for the next cycle of contraction, or systole. So, the correct answer to your multiple choice question is: "All four chambers of the heart relax for a brief interval."
