Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Menopause is the time in a woman's life (typically around age 45-55) when the ovaries stop responding to FSH and LH due to the depletion of ovarian follicles. As a result, estrogen production declines dramatically, and menstrual cycles cease.

Hint

This is the permanent end of menstruation and fertility.
