The correct answer is  Left atrial hyperophy or dilatation is not seen in ASD, instead it is seen in Mitral stenosis. In ASD, left atrium has two outflow tracts. One into L.V through mitral valve and the other into R.A through ASD. These two outflow tracts cause resistance against which the L.A pump is decreased, thus explaining absence of LA hyperophy.
