- A. Day 14
- B. Day 18
- C. Day 1
- D. Day 8
Explanation
In a typical 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation usually occurs around day 14. Ovulation is the process of releasing a mature egg (ovum) from the ovary, and it is triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. Ovulation around day 14 is commonly used as a reference point for calculating the timing of fertility.
