As we have learnt:

Reproductive phase or Maturity Phase:

  • During this phase, the organisms reproduce to produce offspring.
  • The development and maturation of reproductive organs called puberty occur during this phase.
  • In plants, it is marked by the appearance of flowers.
  • Plants can be monocarpic or polycarpic.
  • Animals can be seasonal breeders or continuous breeders.
  • Seasonal breeders reproduce at a particular period of the year, like birds, lizards, etc.
  • Continuous breeders continue to breed throughout their sexual maturity.
  • The females of placental mammals exhibit cyclical changes in the activities of ovaries and accessory ducts as well as hormones during the reproductive phase.
  • It is called the menstrual cycle.
  • In non-primate mammals like cows, sheep, rats, deer, dogs, tigers, etc., such cyclical changes during reproduction are called the oestrus cycle.

-Mango is a polycarpic plant. The oestrous cycle is seen in non-primates while menstrual cycle is seen in primates. Lizards are seasonal breeders. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
