- C. 16-22 days
- D. 22-28 days
Explanation
This is generally considered the fertile window in the menstrual cycle. Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 in a 28-day cycle, and sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for several days. Therefore, the fertile period includes a few days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself.

About Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle covers the coordinated changes in the ovaries and uterus, including menstruation, follicular growth, ovulation and corpus luteum formation. It links follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, oestrogen and progesterone with endometrial changes, and distinguishes the ovarian cycle from the uterine cycle and the hormonal events of pregnancy.
