B

C

D
ovary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Once it releases its egg, the empty ovarian follicle develops into a new structure called the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum secretes the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Progesterone prepares your uterus for a fertilized egg to implant.

Detailed explanation-2: -An ovarian follicle is a roughly spheroid cellular aggregation set found in the ovaries. It secretes hormones that influence stages of the menstrual cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oocytes develop to maturity from within a follicle. These follicles are found in the outside layer of the ovaries. During each reproductive cycle, several follicles begin to develop. Typically, only one oocyte each cycle will become a mature egg and be ovulated from its follicle. This process is known as ovulation.
