Solution
The correct option is D Graafian follicle Ovaries are primary sex organs which are located on each side of the lower abdomen. Ovaries contain thousands of gamete mother cells which transform from primary follicles to Graafian follicles i.e. primary oocyte to secondary oocyte from birth to puberty. These Graafian follicles after ovulation turn into corpus luteum which secretes progesterone in large amounts.
