Answer 2

Oocyte

Step-by-step explanation:

The cortex of ovaries has many follicles and each follicle contains an immature egg in various developmental stages. The immature egg present in the follicle is called oocyte.

The first stage of the ovarian cycle, that is the follicular phase is marked by the beginning of the development of oocytes in several follicles under the influence of follicle stimulating hormone.

However, only one follicle continues developing. By the end of the follicular phase, the mature follicle (the Graafian follicle) bears secondary oocyte in its fluid-filled cavity.
