The correct answer is:

The flow of blood into the pulmonary artery will be reduced.

Tricuspid valve is the valve in the heart between the right atrium and right ventricle. The valve opens to allow blood to flow from atrium into the ventricle. Thus if tricuspid valve is partially non-functional, then the flow of blood into the pulmonary artery will be reduced.
