Answer 2

Hormone levels generally decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph showed that hormone levels after ovulation generally decrease.

The menstrual cycle of women generally have 3 phases which include:

1. The follicular phase
2. The ovulatory phase
3. The luteal phase

The follicular phase is characterized by low levels of oestrogen and progesterone and a slightly high level of follicle stimulating hormone which ensures that follicles within the ovary develop.

The ovulatory phase is characterized by a surge in the luitenizing hormone (which stimulates the release of eggs) and follicle stimulating hormone with a decrease in the level of oestrogen and a gradual increase in the level of progesterone.

The luteal phase is characterized by a general decrease in the levels of luitenizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone while oestrogen level may remain high.
