If fertilisation does not occur ____
A
the egg dies
B
the egg leaves the body when the uterus lining is shed
C
both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If fertilization does not occur, the endometrium, coupled with blood and mucus from the vagina and cervix (the lower, narrow part of the uterus located between the bladder and the rectum) make up the menstrual flow (also called menses) that leaves the body through the vagina.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the Egg Isn’t Fertilized If no sperm is around to fertilize the egg, it moves through to the uterus and disintegrates. Your hormone levels go back to normal. Your body sheds the thick lining of the uterus, and your period starts.

Detailed explanation-3: -The uterus prepares itself by increasing the thickness of the endometrium layer and blood vessels to nourish the baby. However, when the egg does not fertilize, the uterus slowly breaks along the endometrium lining and bleeds through the vagina. This process is called menstruation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fertilisation occurs only once a month because of a simple ovum release by female roughly in the middle of the menstrual cycle which has a span of 4 weeks. Therefore, fertilisation can occur only once in a month.
