The correct answer is: a - ii, b - iii, c - i

Proliferative phase - Also referred to as the follicular phase, the proliferative phase is the part of the menstrual cycle during which follicles inside the ovaries develop and mature in preparation for ovulation.

Secretory phase - the second half of the menstrual cycle after ovulation; the corpus luteum secretes progesterone which prepares the endometrium for the implantation of an embryo; if fertilization does not occur then menstrual flow begins. Also referred to as the luteal phase.
Menstruation is the breakdown of the endometrial lining. Therefore-option 1-a-ii, b-iii, c-i is correct
