Explanation:

Reproductive maturity or puberty refers to the time when a child's body begins to change and attains the ability to reproduce. Around the age of 12 years, females experience the onset of menstruation. The reproductive system starts producing the egg or ovum. Onset of menstruation is called Menarche.

Once a female attains puberty, she menstruates every month. An egg or ovum is produced by the ovary every month. If this egg is not fertilized by a sperm, then the unfertilized egg and endometrium is removed as waste through menstruation. This cycle continues until menopause, absent only during pregnancy. Each menstrual cycle is about 28 to 35 days.

Option A is the answer.
