Solution
The correct option is D Pituitary and ovaries The reproductive cycle in the female primates (e.g., monkeys, apes and human beings) is called as menstrual cycle. The first menstruation begins at puberty and is called as menarche. In human females, menstruation is repeated at an average interval of about 28/29 days, and the cycle of events starting from one menstruation till the next one is called as the menstrual cycle. One ovum is released (ovulation) during the middle of each menstrual cycle. The events of menstrual cycle are under tight regulation of hormones secreted by pituitary and ovaries.
