Solution

The correct option is C

Menopause


The reproductive cycle in the female primates (e.g., monkeys, apes and human beings) is called menstrual cycle. The first menstruation begins at puberty and is called menarche. In human beings, menstrual cycle ceases around 50 years of age; this is termed as menopause. Cyclic menstruation is an indicator of normal reproductive phase and extends between menarche and menopause.
