Solution

The correct option is A 400 - 500 eggs
When a woman is born there are usually one million eggs in each ovary and these are the only eggs she will produce. Normally, one egg will be released when she ovulates every month during her menstrual cycle, which is approximately 400-500 eggs over her lifetime. As a woman gets older the rest of the eggs disappear, break down or deteriorate and by the time she reaches menopause, there are no eggs left.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
