Solution

The correct option is B Low
During the menstrual cycle, when an egg is released from the ovary at ovulation, the corpus luteum releases progesterone. The progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy in the event, that the released egg is fertilised. If the egg is not fertilised, the corpus luteum breaks down, the production of progesterone falls and a new menstrual cycle begins.
