The correct option is Option 4) A, C, and D only.

A. In non-primate mammals, cyclical changes during reproduction are indeed called the estrus cycle, not the menstrual cycle. The estrus cycle is characterized by the presence of an estrus phase, during which the female is sexually receptive.

B. The first menstrual cycle in females begins at puberty, marking the onset of reproductive capability. Menopause, on the other hand, refers to the cessation of menstrual cycles and reproductive function in women, typically occurring around the age of 45-55.

C. Lack of menstruation can be indicative of pregnancy. During pregnancy, menstruation ceases due to the hormonal changes that sustain the pregnancy.

D. Cyclic menstruation extends between menarche (the onset of the first menstrual cycle) and menopause (the cessation of menstrual cycles).

Therefore, statements A, C, and D are correct, while statement B is incorrect.
