Answer 1

The correct option is A Beginning of reproductive phase

Puberty is the period when adolescents reach sexual maturity. It marks the beginning of reproductive life in humans. In males, puberty begins between the ages of 12-15 while in females it happens between the ages of 11-14. This is also marked by the beginning of the release of eggs (female gametes) in females and the production of sperms (male gametes) in males.

So the correct answer is option A.
