What happens if an egg is not fertilized after being released from the ovary?

If an egg is not fertilized, it breaks down rather than remaining in the body until sperm arrive. The uterine lining also sheds during menstruation, and the unfertilized egg leaves the body along with it. So the correct choice is D, “It is shed from the uterus during menstruation.”
