    D)                   Vitelline membrane

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    During ovulation, the mature follicle or Graafian follicle bursts and the ovum is released. After ovulation, the granulosa cells and the interstitial ceils form a mass of large and yellowish conical cells. This is named as Corpus luteum which serves as a temporary endocrine gland by releasing progesterone and estrogen.
