Solution

The correct option is A High concentration of Estrogen
The follicular cell proliferates and forms the mature follicle called Graafian follicle. The follicular cells secrete estrogen as they mature. The high estrogen level stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete LH (Leutenizing hormone). High level of LH triggers ovulation & promotes the development of corpus luteum by the rupture of Graafian follicle.
