Explanation:

The body of the uterus is the main, upper part of the uterus. During pregnancy, the fetus develops in the uterus. The myometrium (muscular layer) of the body of the uterus contracts during childbirth (not menstruation - that's more related to shedding of the endometrium). The endometrium is the lining. Eggs are produced in the ovaries. The cervix connects to the lower part (the isthmus and cervix region, not the body).

Answer:

The upper part of the uterus where the fetus develops.
