The correct option is A Unfertilized egg and the lining from the uterus leave the body

When an egg is not fertilized by sperm in a woman's body the process of menstruation takes place where the upper soft layers of the uterus which are formed to hold the fertilized egg is shed outside the body along with the unfertilized egg if fertilization does not take place.

So, the correct answer is 'Unfertilized egg and the lining from the uterus leave the body'.
