B)ovulation, LH

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process that results in release of the structure labeled C in the diagram is ovulation, which is stimulated by a surge in secretion of the hormone LH (luteinizing hormone). Therefore, B) ovulation, LH, is the correct answer. Options A and C are incorrect because while ovulation is involved, the specified hormone (progesterone or FSH) is not responsible for stimulating its release. Options D and E are also incorrect because they refer to the process of oogenesis (the development of an ovum), which is not the same as ovulation.
