Solution

The correct option is A Menopause
After the age of 45, the number of ovarian follicles decrease and the ovaries become less responsive to luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Hence the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone. So the menstrual cycle stops and reproductive capacity is arrested. Menopause marks the end of reproductive phase. Thus the correct answer is option A.
