Solution

The correct option is B One
  • When a girl is born, the ovaries already contain thousands of immature eggs that remain inactive.
  • When the girl reaches puberty, the FSH is released which stimulates the ovary to mature one egg every month.
  • This egg is released from the ovary every month which enters the fallopian tube and waits for fertilization.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
