Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by identifying the primary function of the ovaries in the female reproductive system. The ovaries are responsible for producing and releasing ova (eggs) during the process of ovulation.

Step 2: Understand the hormones and cells associated with the ovaries. The ovaries produce female sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, but they do not produce testosterone, sperm, or prolactin.

Step 3: Clarify the role of testosterone, sperm, and prolactin. Testosterone is primarily produced in the testes in males and in small amounts by the adrenal glands in females. Sperm is produced in the testes, and prolactin is a hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, not the ovaries.

Step 4: Focus on the correct answer, which is ova (eggs). Ova are the reproductive cells produced and released by the ovaries during ovulation, enabling fertilization.

Step 5: Conclude by emphasizing that the ovaries are specialized organs in the female reproductive system, and their primary role is the production and release of ova, along with the secretion of estrogen and progesterone.
