A

PROGESTERONE : starts slow and takes a while but eventually goes upwards finishes at top straight line

FSH: starts medium then goes lower before going quickly higher then rounds off and goes back down again finishes below PROGESTERONE

OESTROGEN: starts slow but immediately starts going higher before taking a while to round off and eventually goes back down finishing below FSH where it started from

LH: starts in straight line low down but quickly and steeply shoots upwards before rounding off quickly and shooting back down to previous straight line finish under OESTROGEN
