Answer

Brief Explanations:

To solve this, we analyze the menstrual cycle. When an egg is not fertilized, the uterine lining (endometrium) that was prepared for implantation is shed during menstruation. Let's evaluate each option:

  • Option 1: The ovary doesn't re - absorb the unfertilized egg.
  • Option 2: The egg isn't released again in the same cycle.
  • Option 3: The unfertilized egg and the uterine lining are shed during menstruation. This matches the process of the menstrual cycle when fertilization doesn't occur.
  • Option 4: Implantation occurs only if the egg is fertilized; an unfertilized egg doesn't implant.

Answer: It is shed from the uterus during menstruation. (The third option from the left, or the option with the text "It is shed from the uterus during menstruation.")
