Answer 1

The correct option is A 12

• In one year i.e. 12 months, any normal woman will produce 12 eggs.
• Production and release of mature eggs cease during pregnancy that is why it is important to note that the above-mentioned calculations are for nonpregnant women.

So, the correct option is '12'.
