B
The luteal phase occurs after the menstrual phase. At this time, the endometrial lining builds back up after being shed with menstruation. Ovarian follicles mature until the ovum is released. The luteal phase occurs after ovulation. In this phase, if fertilization does not occur, progesterone drops and menses begins again. Fertilization occurs at the time of ovulation at which a sperm joins with the mature egg and the endometrium is ripe to support the embryo.
