Hormones cause the mature follicle and the adjacent ovary wall to rupture and release an egg.

The release of an egg from a mature follicle is called ovulation. In a typical 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation happens around day 14, so “Day 14” is the correct choice. The exact day can vary from person to person, but day 14 is the standard timing used for this cycle model.
