The correct answers are D. estrogen and progesterone.

Estrogen and progesterone refer to primary female hormones girls produce after the onset of puberty. Estrogen is a steroid hormone that is produced in a female's ovaries. It is responsible for the development and functioning of the reproductive system in females, and the development of secondary sex characteristics in females (such as breasts, pubic hair, wide hips,etc.). Progesterone is another female sex hormone that plays an important role in menstruation, and before and during the term of pregnancy.
