Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The SA node (sinoatrial node) is located in the superior part of the right atrium and is responsible for initiating the electrical impulses that stimulate the heart to beat. The AV node (atrioventricular node) is located in the lower part of the right atrium near the septum and helps to transmit the electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles.
