I got this question in homework.

This question is from Human Reproduction topic in chapter Human Reproduction of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) External cortex and internal medulla

To elaborate: An envelope of epithelial tissue covers the ovarian stroma. The stroma is composed of two distinct parts. The outer part called cortex is composed of follicles and oocytes. The internal part is called the medulla and is composed of blood vessels, lymphatic ducts, and nerves.
