Solution
The correct option is A True
Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary.
After the follicular phase, ovulation occurs midway through the menstrual cycle in humans (generally on the 14th day of the 28-day cycle).
The follicular phase, also known as the proliferative phase, occurs before ovulation, during which primary follicles in the ovary mature into Graafian follicles.
The luteal phase, also known as the secretory phase, occurs after ovulation, during which the Corpus luteum is produced and secretes a large amount of progesterone.
Menstruation happens when the corpus luteum degenerates due to a lack of fertilization.
