Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LH is responsible for triggering ovulation in females by causing the mature follicle to rupture and release the egg.

Answer: D 
 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is primarily responsible for stimulating follicle growth during the first week of the menstrual cycle. While LH also plays a role in follicle development, it is primarily involved in triggering ovulation. Therefore, Choice D is incorrect.

Thus, the best choice is C alone (stimulates ovulation).
