Solution

The correct option is D Oestrogen
Osteoporosis (fragile or weak bones) is very common in women during their menopause because of the depletion of the oestrogen levels in their blood. Oestrogen is a sex hormone which is important for female bone health because it promotes the activity of osteoblasts, which are cells involved in the formation of bone. Thus, the correct option is D.
