Solution

The correct option is B Menopause
Ovulation is the process of releasing the matured egg or ovum.
Puberty is the process of physical changes whereby the child's body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction.
The cessation of the woman's menstrual cycle and hence the end of reproductive ability is called as menopause. Menopause occurs due to the natural cessation of the estradiol and progesterone production by the ovaries over a period of years. This is the part of the normal aging process.
The process of becoming mature is maturation.
Thus, the correct answer is (C), 'Menopause'.
