Solution

The correct option is B False
Each ovarian follicle contains a hollow ball of cells with an immature egg in the centre. During childhood, approximately half of the ovarian follicles are absorbed by the body. By the time a girl reaches puberty and her menstrual cycle begins, only about 400,000 ovarian follicles are left to develop into mature eggs. However, only one egg reaches maturation and is released by one of the ovaries during each monthly cycle.
