Final answer:
The false statement about the ovaries is that they are where the ova are stored; instead, ovaries contain immature eggs from birth which later mature during puberty.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct statement regarding ovaries that is not true is A) the ovaries are where the ova are stored. The statement is misleading; while the ovaries do contain eggs, they are not stored there in a mature form ready for fertilization. Instead, female's ovaries contain all the eggs she will ever have from birth, but these eggs do not begin to mature until she reaches puberty. Each month after puberty, typically one egg matures and is released during ovulation. The other statements, B) midway through a woman's cycle, she ovulates, C) during ovulation an egg forms in one of the ovaries, and D) the ovaries produce estrogen, are indeed true. Ovaries not only produce eggs but also secrete essential hormones such as estrogen and progesterone which play crucial roles in the menstrual and ovarian cycles.
