Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(18^{\text {th }}\)April

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) \(18^{\text {th }}\)April,
Ovulation, the rupture of the mature (Graafian) follicle and the release of the secondry oocyte into the pelvic cavity, usually occurs on day 14 to 16 in a 28 days cycle. Thus, a woman whose menses occurs on 5th April, the ovulation is likely to occur on 18th of April.
