Question

ruth is currently in menopause. this indicates that the production of ______ by her ovaries will decline drastically
multiple choice
adrenaline
insulin
estrogen
testosterone

Explanation:

Menopause is a natural biological process in women. During menopause, the ovaries stop producing eggs and the production of estrogen (a female sex hormone) declines drastically. Adrenaline is produced by the adrenal glands and is involved in the "fight - or - flight" response. Insulin is produced by the pancreas and regulates blood sugar levels. Testosterone is a male sex hormone (although women also have small amounts, it is mainly produced in the testes in men and in small amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women, but its decline is not the main hormonal change in menopause).

Answer:

C. estrogen
