• B. ${18}^{th}$ day
• C. ${30}^{th}$ day

Answer 1

The correct option is D ${16}^{th}$ day

Ovulation is the process in which egg is released from the mature Graafian follicle. This stage of the menstrual cycle is also called ovulatory phase in which the ovary is released on the 16th day of the menstrual cycle if the duration of a menstrual cycle is of 30 days. This phase takes place due to an increase in the luteinizing hormone called as LH surge. Thus the correct answer is option D,
