Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Ovaries produce progesterone (along with estrogen) during the menstrual cycle, especially in the luteal phase.
• Option 2: A fertilized egg grows in the uterus, not the ovary.
• Option 3: Testosterone is produced by testes (in males) and in small amounts by adrenal glands; ovaries do not produce testosterone.
