Solution
The correct option is B10−12 Days The menstrual cycle is the monthly cycle of the female reproductive system. It comes about by the action of hormones like the follicular stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estrogen, and progesterone. This cycle typically repeats itself in 28 days and menstruation or bleeding is observed in the first 5-7 days. Ovulation usually takes place between 10-14 days and is marked by an increase in the levels of LH, called the LH surge typically around the 12th day.
