Answer»

Right choice is (c) Provide a hostile environment for the development of the EMBRYO

Best explanation: The ovary is the place where the oocyte is developed from the oogonia. It houses follicles that nourish and protect eggs before they are released in the process of ovulation for fertilization. It also PRODUCES sex hormones LIKE ESTROGEN, which are ESSENTIAL for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females. It does not hold the developing embryo. The embryo is held in the uterus.
