D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: The process of releasing eggs from the ovaries is known as ovulation. Ovulation process takes place as soon as the follicle gets fully grown and reaches its size along with accumulation of liquid in the follicle without a significant rise in pressure. As soon as the follicle swells out, a small oval-shaped area, the stigma or macula pellucida appears sticking outward as a clear cone area and then undergoes localized changes in color, integrity and translucency.

Complete answer:
Option A Ovary: The ovary is the organ in the female reproductive system that generates an ovum. When ovum gets released, it travels down the fallopian tube into the uterus, where it may become fertilized by a sperm. Release of an egg from ovary, into the fallopian tube is known as ovulation. It takes place in the ovary.
Hence option A is correct.
Option B About the \[{14^{th}}\] day: The process of ovulation happens about \[14\] days before the period starts. At this stage, estrogen levels peak towards the end of the follicular phase, which causes an increased levels of LH and FSH.
Hence option B is also correct.
Option C Both A and B: Here, both the options A and B are correct.
Hence option C is the correct answer.
Option D None of the above: Since both options A and B are correct.
Hence option D is wrong.

Hence, Option C) Both A and B are the correct answer.

Note:
It can cause an uptick in vaginal discharge if the ovulation is impending. The discharge at this time is often clear and stretchy and may even resemble raw egg whites. After the process of ovulation, the discharge may decrease in volume and can appear thicker or cloudier. The ovulation may also cause light bleeding or spotting, breast tenderness and increased sexual drive.
