A
FSH
B
LH
C
Estrogen
D
Progesterone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These cells release estrogen, progesterone and other hormones. Granulosa cells impact follicle growth and ovulation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The antral or “dominant” follicles secrete estrogen and inhibin, which exert negative feedback on FSH, thus “turning off” their neighboring antral follicles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Specifically, FSH stimulates follicles on the ovary to grow and prepare the eggs for ovulation. As the follicles increase in size, they begin to release estrogen and a low level of progesterone into your blood.
