The correct option is A True

Female reproductive system:

  1. In humans, the female reproductive organ consists of two ovaries, oviducts (also known as fallopian tubes), and the uterus.
  2. The ovary creates female gametes known as ova, sometimes known as eggs.
  3. Every month, one of the ovaries releases a single developed egg into the oviduct and known as ovulation phase.

Ovulation phase:

  1. LH and FSH levels peak mid-cycle, around the 14th day, during this period.
  2. The LH surge is the fast production of LH that leads to the maximal LH level in the middle of the cycle. It causes the Graafian follicle to rupture, allowing the ovum to be released.
  3. Ovulation refers to the discharge of an ovum from a mature Graafian follicle.
  4. It happens as a result of the LH surge, which occurs around the 14th day of the cycle.
