Solution

The correct option is D I and III

During the embryonic development stage, a couple of million gametes (egg) mother cells (oogonia) are formed within each foetal ovary. The oogonia cells enter prophase I stage of meiosis and get temporarily arrested at this stage. They are now called the primary oocytes.

Primary oocyte during the course of development gets surrounded by a layer of granulosa cells and gets transformed into primary follicles. A large number of those follicles get degenerate during the phase from birth to puberty.

Tertiary follicles on further development transformed into Graafian follicles, with a large central follicular cavity (antrum) that is filled with a fluid called liquor folliculi.

In case of no pregnancy corpus luteum gets degenerated into a white massy substance called corpus albicans which has no hormonal secretion.

The Graafian follicle is the most mature follicle which on rupturing forms a secondary oocyte via process of ovulation.
