Solution
The correct option is B 6 Human females have a pair of ovaries. Both of these ovaries are functional and are capable of producing eggs. Normally, each ovary can produce a single egg or ovum each month. This way, a single ovary can produce a total of 6 eggs in a year, and the other one produces one ovum in the remaining six months.
