Solution

The correct option is D Luteal phase
The rhythmic reproductive cycle in the female primates is called as the menstrual cycle. The major parts of the menstrual cycle are - menstruation phase (bleeding phase), follicular or proliferative phase and luteal or secretory phase. The luteal phase is the stage where ovulation occurs. During this time progesterone hormone is released by the corpus luteum which thickens the uterus wall for pregnancy. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
