Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- B(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

- D(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Correct answer
A. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT: - The first menstruation begins at puberty and is called menarche. - In human beings, menstrual cycles cease around 50 years of age; that is termed as menopause. - The reproductive cycle in the female primates (e.g., monkeys, apes and human beings) is called menstrual cycle. - In non-primate mammals like cows, sheep, rats, deers, dogs, tiger, etc., cyclical changes during reproduction are called oestrus cycle. Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II). Answer: (A)
