So is it C?

anonymous · Answer

If fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum is maintained by a hormone secreted by the developing embryo. So B is off the chart and A is also off the chart. There are four phases in one cycle: 
    Menstrual phase (From day 1 to 5)
    Follicular phase (From day 1 to 13)
    Ovulation phase (Day 14)
    Luteal phase (From day 15 to 28)

 The answer is C. Gastrulation.

Yes, the answer is C.
