Question

The first menstruation is called ______.

Options

• Menopause

• Menarche

• Diapause

• Ovulation

Answer 1

The first menstruation is called menarche.

Explanation:

The first menstrual bleeding in females, which marks the onset of reproductive capacity, is called menarche. Menstruation stops permanently during menopause. In insects and mammals, diapause is a period during which development is halted. Ovulation, which is unrelated to the first menstrual cycle, is the release of the ovum from the ovary.
