Answer 1

(d) Ovulation, thickening of the uterine lining, breakdown of uterine lining, release of blood and tissue

During ovulation, an ovum is released, which results in the thickening of the uterine, to enable it to receive the fertilised ovum. If the ovum does not get fertilised, the uterine lining breaks, and blood and tissue are released from the vagina.
