The luteal phase comes after ovulation, and the ovulatory phase refers specifically to the day of ovulation. Therefore, the correct answer is the follicular phase.

It takes 10 hours for a sperm to fertilize an egg.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because it generally takes around 10 hours for a sperm to fertilize an egg. After ejaculation, the sperm travels through the female reproductive system and reaches the fallopian tubes where the egg is released. Once the sperm reaches the egg, it undergoes a process called capacitation, which takes about 6-8 hours. After capacitation, the sperm can penetrate the egg and fertilization occurs. Therefore, the statement is true.

During puberty, girls experience growth and development, which includes the widening of hips and the development of curves in the body. These changes are a natural part of the maturation process in girls.

Correct Answer
C. Their hips will widen and the body will get curvier

Wet dreams, which are involuntary ejaculations during sleep, are also a normal part of male development. Boys will start growing in height and muscles as they go through puberty. However, their hips will not widen, and their bodies will not become curvier. This is because the widening of hips and curvier body shape are physical changes that typically occur in girls during puberty.

- D.

Growing in height, on the other hand, is a physical change rather than a social or emotional one. Irresponsibility is not mentioned as a social or emotional change for adolescents.
