On which date is a woman most likely to ovulate if the first day of menstrual loss was 1st February?
Correct answer: C. 14th February
- A. 5th February
- B. 28th February
- C. 14th February
- D. 1st March
Explanation
In a typical 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation occurs around the 14th day. Starting from the first day of menstrual bleeding on 1st February, the 14th day would be 14th February, making it the most likely day for ovulation. Option A (5th February) is too early, while Option B (28th February) is too late and falls at the end of the cycle. Option D (1st March) would be the start of the next cycle, not ovulation.
