Options
- A(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- B(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Correct answer
D. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Step-by-step solution
Menarche is the first menstruation that begins at puberty, so (A) matches with (III). Menopause is the cessation of the menstrual cycle that occurs around 50 years of age, so (B) matches with (IV). Ovulation is the release of the ovum due to the rupture of the mature Graafian follicle, so (C) matches with (II). Menstruation involves the breakdown of the endometrial lining of the uterus and its blood vessels, so (D) matches with (I). Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).
