Solution

The correct option is B Progesterone and oestrogen

At puberty, hypothalamus releases gonadotrohphin releasing hormone (GnRH) which stimulates the anterior pituitary gland. the latter secrete the FSH/LH from the anterior pituitary gland.

FSH- Stimulate the growth of graffian follicle, maturation of ovum, secretion of estrogen by follicle cells. Estrogen, or oestrogen, is the primary female sex hormone. It is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.

LH- The luteinising hormone stimulates release of ovum( ovulation), formation of corpus luteum in the empty follicle and secretion of progesterone from the corpus luteum. Progesterone suspends ovulation during pregnancy, maintains foetal connection with the uterine wall and controls development of foetus in the uterus. If fertilization fails, means no pregnancy so progesterone level decreases to restart the process of ovulation.

So, the correct answer is 'Progesterone and estrogen'.
