Which ovarian phase is the final phase to occur?
A
Luteal
B
Ovulation
C
Follicular
D
Menstrual
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This phase always occurs from day 14 to day 28 of the cycle. Progesterone stimulated by LH is the dominant hormone during this phase to prepare the corpus luteum and the endometrium for possible fertilized ovum implantation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The luteal phase begins after ovulation. It lasts about 14 days (unless fertilization occurs) and ends just before a menstrual period. During most of the luteal phase, the estrogen level is high. Estrogen also stimulates the endometrium to thicken.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ovulation marks the end of the follicular phase and the beginning of the luteal phase. During the luteal phase, the dominant follicle that released the mature egg changes into a structure called the corpus luteum.
