The correct option is FSH stimulates the release of LH.. FSH stimulates the release of LH. is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to explain (HT only) how FSH, oestrogen, LH and progesterone interact during the menstrual cycle.

Clarify that FSH is primarily responsible for stimulating the maturation of eggs in the ovaries, while LH triggers ovulation. Use diagrams to illustrate their specific roles in the cycle.
