B Gestation
C Ovulation
Correct Answer
D Fertilization
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Ovulation is the phase in the menstrual cycle where a mature ovarian follicle ruptures and releases an egg (ovum) from the ovary. It typically occurs around day 14 of a 28-day cycle and releases the egg into the fallopian tube, where it may meet sperm.

Hint

This event is triggered by a surge in Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
