  1. A. Primordial
  2. B. Atretic
  3. C. Primary
  4. D. Mature
  5. E. Secondary
Hint

Look at the height and number of layers of the follicular cells and at the glycoprotein membrane around the oocyte; compare this with the sequence of follicle stages from the resting pool to the mature follicle.
