Solution
The correct option is C High concentration of Estrogen The follicular cells proliferates and forms the mature follicle called Graafian follicle. The follicular cells secretes 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 rupture of graafian follicle.
