Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Menstrual flow is the shedding of the uterine lining that has built up in preparation for a potential pregnancy. During the menstrual cycle, if the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum regresses, and the hormone levels drop, leading to the shedding of the built-up uterine lining.
