Oestrogen
B
Testosterone
C
Adrenaline
D
Melatonin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your ovaries secrete estrogen and progesterone. These hormones play an important role in reproductive development and menstruation. Estrogen production is highest in the first half of your menstrual cycle before ovulation.

Detailed explanation-2: -During ovulation, the egg is released from the follicle in the ovary into the fallopian tube. Once the egg has been released at ovulation, the empty follicle that remains becomes the corpus luteum (CL). The CL produces the hormones progesterone (in a higher amount) and oestrogen (in a smaller amount).

Detailed explanation-3: -The ovaries, adrenal glands, and fat tissues produce estrogen. Both female and male bodies have this hormone, but females create more of it.
