D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you don’t become pregnant, your cycle ends and the lining of your uterus (womb) sheds-this blood is your period. But if you do become pregnant, your body retains the lining of your uterus. That’s why you stop getting periods during pregnancy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main purpose of the luteal phase is to prepare your uterus for a possible pregnancy. During this phase of your cycle, an egg travels from your ovary through your fallopian tube and to your uterus. If sperm fertilizes that egg, the fertilized egg implants into your uterine lining and pregnancy occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Menstruation is a monthly cycle which takes place when the egg is not fertilized by a sperm. This cycle does not occur during pregnancy as the egg is already fertilized to form a zygote which becomes an embryo.
