- A.
  
  True
- B.

A. True

Explanation
The statement "Your heart contains two atriums" is true. The heart is divided into four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The atria are the upper chambers of the heart, responsible for receiving blood from the body and lungs. They then pump the blood into the ventricles, which are the lower chambers of the heart. Therefore, the heart does indeed contain two atriums.

In this case, "under" is showing the position of one object in relation to another.
