It is absorbed again by the ovary.
I
It is released again during the next cycle.
I
It is shed from the uterus during menstruation.
I
It implants into the uterus until sperm are present.

If the egg is not fertilized, it does not implant and develop. The uterine lining breaks down and is shed during menstruation, and the unfertilized egg leaves the body with it. So the correct choice is “It is shed from the uterus during menstruation.”
