The follicular phase is part of the uterine cycle where the follicles in the ovary are developing, and it is followed by ovulation. The luteal phase is the period when the remnants of the ovarian follicles transform into a corpus luteum and starts to secrete progesterone, preparing the uterus for pregnancy. The transition between the follicular and luteal phases coincides with ovulation, which is the release of a mature egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube. Therefore, the best choice is B, proliferative; secretory; ovulation.
