Explanation:

The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. Their main functions are to produce and release eggs (ova) for potential fertilization. Additionally, they secrete hormones. Testosterone is mainly a male - related hormone (though females have small amounts, it's not the primary hormone produced by ovaries in the context of reproductive function). Cortisol is a stress - related hormone not directly related to the reproductive function of ovaries. Estrogen and progesterone are the key female reproductive hormones produced by the ovaries. Estrogen is involved in the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the regulation of the menstrual cycle, while progesterone helps in preparing the uterus for pregnancy.

Producing and releasing eggs, and producing hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
