Menstrual cycle
The cyclic changes that occur in the ovaries and the lining of the uterus in the female reproductive system of primates are called the menstrual cycle. Examples include humans, monkeys, etc.

The sequence of hormone secretion
The following is the sequence of the hormone secretion during the menstrual cycle:-
1)At the beginning of menstruation the anterior pituitary gland secretes FSH.
2)FSH induces the maturation of the follicles in the ovary.
3)The Graafian follicle, thus formed, secretes estrogen.
4)A high amount of estrogen causes an LH surge. LH surge causes ovulation.
5)The ruptured Graafian follicle becomes corpus luteum.
6)Corpus luteum secretes progesterone which maintains the thickness of the endometrium of the uterus.

Final answer
(C) FSH, estrogen, progesterone
