Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Estrogen levels rise early in the menstrual cycle and stimulate the increased secretion of GnRH (Gonadotropin-releasing hormone), which in turn promotes the secretion of FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) necessary for ovulation and the menstrual cycle.
