Answer 1

Hint: The female reproductive system comprises different organs that helps in reproduction and production of offspring. It is capable of carrying the foetus till the time of its birth.

Complete answer:
The female reproductive system in humans is immature at birth and matures when the individual reaches puberty. The reproductive system consists of both external organs and internal organs which together contribute to the process of reproduction and development of the foetus. The external part of the reproductive system consists of vulva. Vulva in turn is made up of many external parts and tissues which include labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vaginal opening, bartholin’s gland, mons pubis and pudendal cleft. Each of them plays important roles. The internal organs consist of vagina; also referred to as the birth canal, cervix which is the neck of the uterus and joins with the upper part of the vagina, uterus also known as the womb that provides suitable conditions for the developing embryo to grow, fallopian tube where the ovum is fertilized and ovaries which produce the egg cell or ovum.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: The ovaries start producing eggs from maturity. When fertilization occurs the foetus starts growing in the uterus till the completion of the gestation period. In the absence of fertilization the ovum degenerates leading to menstruation.
