Solution

The correct option is D both FSH and LH levels are low in the luteal phase
No new follicles develop in the luteal phase of menstrual cycle because during this phase, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels decrease. Instead, the already ruptured follicle transforms into corpus luteum during luteal phase which produces progesterone.
