The ovarian phase between the end of menstruation and beginning of ovulation is the

  • A. Menstrual phase
  • B. Preovulatory phase
  • C. Proliferative phase
  • D. Follicular phase
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Proliferative phase. During this phase, the endometrium thickens in preparation for a potential implantation of a fertilized egg. This phase occurs after the menstrual phase and before ovulation, marking the time when the ovarian follicles are developing under the influence of FSH. The other choices are incorrect because the menstrual phase (A) refers to the shedding of the endometrium, the preovulatory phase (B) occurs just before ovulation, and the follicular phase (D) includes both the menstrual and preovulatory phases.
