Solution
The correct option is A At puberty During the birth of a girl child, there are many follicles that are present in the ovary. When the girl reaches puberty, many of the follicles die. During puberty, the viable follicles develop inside the ovary and can be observed as immature eggs. From these immature eggs, every month one egg matures and is released from one of the ovaries.
