Answer 1

The correct option is A Fibrous connective tissue

Ovaries are females gonads, that produce ova and female hormones. It is about the size of a un-shelled almond. The ovaries are located in the pelvic cavity one on each side of the uterus. Each ovary is attached by a mesentery, called as mesovarium to the backside of each broad ligament. A thickening border of the mesovarium is called as ovarian ligament, extends from the ovary to the uterus. The ovary is suspended from the pelvic wall by the suspensory ligament. A layer of specialized epithelial cells, called as germinal layer covers the ovaries. Beneath it, is the stroma mass of (fibrous) connective tissue, which contains ova in various stages of maturity.

So, the correct answer is option A.
