Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Progesterone and estrogen are necessary to prepare the uterus for menstruation, and their release is triggered by the hypothalamus. During puberty, the ovaries release a single egg each month (in an alternate manner) and are called ovulation. When fertilization occurs they help in the implantation of the formed zygote as it forms the endometrium lining in the uterus which is essential for the foetus to sustain. Low concentration can cause complications and even miscarriage.
So the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
