The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that during the follicular phase, primary follicles in the ovary grow to become a fully mature Graafian follicle. - This is indeed correct. The follicular phase is characterized by the maturation of follicles, where primary follicles develop into Graafian follicles, which are ready for ovulation. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided states that the endometrium of the uterus regenerates during the follicular phase due to increasing levels of progesterone. - This statement is partially correct in that the endometrium does regenerate, but the key point is that this regeneration is primarily influenced by estrogen, not progesterone. Progesterone plays a role later, during the luteal phase, where it helps maintain the endometrium after ovulation. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the assertion is correct while the reason is incorrect. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: False
