Solution

The correct option is B Produces ova and female sex hormones
Ovary is the main reproductive organ in females. The main function of the ovary is to release the female gamete called ovum, in a cyclic manner, triggering a chain of events which leads to the menstrual cycle. Ovary also produces female sex hormones which are responsible for the development of secondary sexual characters in females.
