(D), (B), (A), (C)

Correct Answer:

(C), (A), (D), (B)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (C), (A), (D), (B) 

The correct sequence of hormones during the menstrual cycle is:

(C) FSH → (A) Estrogen → (D) LH → (B) Progesterone

  1. FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) – stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovary during the follicular phase.
  2. Estrogen – secreted by the growing follicle; it helps in the regeneration of the endometrium and also exerts feedback control to modulate FSH and stimulate LH.
  3. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) – a surge in LH causes ovulation (release of egg from the mature follicle).
  4. Progesterone – secreted by the corpus luteum after ovulation during the luteal phase, it prepares the endometrium for possible implantation.
