Solution

The correct option is B menarche
The reproductive phase of a woman starts from her first period (menarche) at around 10-12 years of age. It continues until the age of 45 to 50, when women stop releasing eggs. This is called menopause. Hence, the reproductive phase of women lies between their menarche and menopause.
