The phase of menstrual cycle in humans that last for 7 - 8 days, is: 

  • follicular phase

  • ovulatory phase

  • luteal phase

  • menstruation

Solution

B.

ovulatory phase

The phase of menstrual cycle in humans that last for 7-8 days is ovulatory phase. During this phase, production of FSH decreases while that of LH increases which leads to ovulation on about the 14th day. But it may range from 9th to 16th day (approximately).

Follicular phase begins on the first day of menstruation and ends with ovulation.

Luteal phase is the second half of cycle. It lasts for about 14 days and ends just before a menstrual period.
