Correct answer: B. Corpus luteum
- A. Graafian luteum
- B. Corpus luteum
- C. Ruptured ovum
- D. Follicle
- E. Progestrone
Explanation
After the release of an egg during ovulation, the follicle from which the egg was released undergoes a transformation and forms a structure called the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is a vacated vesicular follicle that forms a yellow structure on an ovary. It secretes hormones, primarily progesterone, which is important for preparing and maintaining the uterus for possible pregnancy. So option B is correct.
