Which outcome occurs when estrogen levels drop significantly during cyclical hormone regulation?

💡 Explanation

Menstruation begins with decreased estrogen via hormonal signalling, because the endometrium no longer gets maintenance signals, prompting shedding. Triggered menses, rather than continuous endometrium growth occurs, therefore menstruation, rather than pregnancy, advances if fertilization doesn’t happen and differing factors dictate options B-D.
