Solution
The correct option is C Menstruation
Growth and changes in voice or hair pattern are associated with the physical changes that occur during adolescence. However, the onset of menstruation is associated with sexual maturity in girls.
Menstruation is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, the female body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus.
