During the first week of the menstrual cycle, an ovum:
A
Is ready to be fertilized
B
Matures in an ovary
C
Travels along a Fallopian tube
D
Attaches to the wall of the uterus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The follicular phase begins on the first day you menstruate. It lasts until ovulation, when one of your ovaries releases a mature egg. During the follicular phase, fluid-filled sacs in your ovaries called follicles house immature eggs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The egg travels down the fallopian tubes. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, the egg is reabsorbed into the body. Levels of oestrogen and progesterone fall, and the womb lining comes away and leaves the body as a period (the menstrual flow). The time from the release of an egg to the start of a period is around 10 to 16 days.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ovulation. When a young person reaches puberty, they begin to ovulate-a process in which a mature egg cell (also called an ovum) that is ready for fertilization by a sperm cell is released from one of the ovaries (two reproductive organs located in the pelvis).
