Solution

The correct option is C LH
The average length of the menstrual cycle is about 28 days. By convention the days of the cycle are numbered from the beginning of the menstrual phase of the menstrual cycle, which usually lasts about 4 days. This is followed by the proliferative phase (about 10 days), then by the secretory phase (about 14 days).
The secretion of gonadotropins (LH and FSH) increases gradually during the follicular phase, and stimulates follicular development as well as secretion of estrogens by the growing follicles. Both LH and FSH attain a peak level in the middle of cycle (about 14th day). Rapid secretion of LH leading to its maximum level during the mid-cycle is called as LH surge, induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum (ovulation).
