Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ovaries are supported by the mesovarium, which is a double layer of peritoneum that attaches the ovary to the broad ligament of the uterus. Option A is incorrect because the roof of the pelvic cavity does not actively support the ovaries. Option B is incorrect because while the ovarian blood vessels and hilum are located in close proximity to the ovaries, they do not provide active support. Option D is incorrect because the uterus is a separate reproductive organ and does not directly support the ovaries.
