Solution

The correct option is B
Corpus Luteum

During ovulation, the follicle surrounding the egg will break and the egg is released. But remnants of the follicle stays on the egg and form a yellowish mass called corpus luteum. This corpus luteum is responsible for releasing hormones such as estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle.
