    e. menstrual, secretory, and proliferative phases

    Explanation:

    Proliferative phase (days 5-15) includes thickening of the endometrium of the uterine wall under the influence of estrogen hormone released by developing follicles.

    This is followed by secretory phase (days 15-28) during which endometrium proliferate at a fast rate and the matured uterine glands secrete mucoid secretion.

    If fertilization does not occur, the secretory phase is followed by menstrual phase (days 1-5) during which the endometrium is disintegrated and the associated blood vessels rupture leading to menses.
