B.
It is regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

It usually occurs in a twice-monthly cycle.
ANS: B
Oogenesis begins in the ovaries and is regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). For each primary oocyte that undergoes meiosis, only one functional egg is produced; the other cells (termed polar bodies) deteriorate. The graafian follicle is a mature ovarian follicle and does not secrete prolactin. Oogenesis occurs in utero.
