Explanation
The correct option is To promote the maturation of eggs. To promote the maturation of eggs is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to explain (HT only) how fertility drugs containing FSH and LH can stimulate eggs to mature. This belongs to the subtopic The use of hormones to treat infertility (HT only) within Hormonal coordination in humans, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from The use of hormones to treat infertility (HT only).
Common mistake
