Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The female reproductive system comprises a pair of ovaries along with a pair of oviducts, a uterus, vagina, cervix and the external genitalia, location in the pelvic region.
Ovaries are the primary female sex organs which produce ovum (the female gamete) and several steroid ovarian hormones. The size of an ovary varies from 2-4 cm in length. Each ovary is situated on each side of the lower abdomen and is connected to the pelvic wall and uterus by ligaments. It is covered by a thin epithelium which encloses the ovarian stroma, which is divided into two zones - the peripheral cortex and inner medulla.
