Solution
The correct option is C Ovulation phase The ovulatory phase is characterised by the release of egg from the Graafian follicle. This phase is recognised by the increase in the level of estrogen and LH. When the egg becomes matured in the Graafian follicle inside the ovary, the process of ovulation occurs due to an increase in the luteinizing hormone called as LH surge. The estrogen helps in increasing the cell lining of the uterus during the phase of ovulation.
