1
Rationale:
1. The two phases of the ovarian cycle are follicular (days 1–14 of the menstrual cycle) and luteal (days 15–28 of the menstrual cycle).
2. Menstrual cycles that are irregular in length have a consistent follicular phase but a varying luteal phase.
3. The ovum is released from the graafian follicle of the ovary and travels to the fallopian tube during the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle.
4. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is secreted by a fertilized ovum, and does not stimulate ovulation.
