The correct option is D 3-4 days
Menstruation is a woman's monthly bleeding. It occurs so as to shed the lining of the uterus or womb. In the menstrual cycle, the uterus gets prepared for implantation and the endometrium builds up.
After ovulation, if the released egg does not get implanted in the uterus, it leads to shedding off the endometrium and its lining and this is called menstruation and it generally lasts for 3-4 days.
