Solution

The correct option is A Ovulation
In human females, the release of the egg from the ovary is called as the process of ovulation. As a follicle matures, it moves closer to the surface of the ovary, eventually resembling a fluid-filled bulge on the ovarian surface. Follicle cells secrete proteolytic enzymes, that break down a small area of the ovary wall. During ovulation, the secondary oocyte ejects through the ovary wall and into the pelvic cavity. The portion of the follicle, that remains in the ovary develops into the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine gland that, secretes estrogen and progesterone.
