Answer 1

The correct option is B The menstrual fluid including blood, easily coagulates

The menstrual cycle is the periodic discharge of blood from the uterine wall of non-pregnant women. Along with blood, the menstrual fluid includes mucous and debris. Around 40 ml of blood is discarded every month in a menstrual cycle. It generally starts from 12 to 15 years of age. It is called as menarche. It stops at the age of 45 to 55. It is called as menopause. The menstrual fluid is not easily coagulated. Taking hormonal tablets cause side effects. It disturbs the menstrual cycle.

Thus, the correct answer is 'The menstrual fluid including blood, easily coagulates'.
