During the menstrual cycle, a surge in luteinising hormone (LH) is triggered when the plasma estradiol concentration rises above 200 pg mL⁻¹. After the LH surge, estradiol production falls by 15 % each hour because of negative feedback. If the estradiol level at the moment of the surge is 250 pg mL⁻¹, after how many whole hours will the concentration drop below the 200 pg mL⁻¹ threshold? Also give the estimated concentration at that time (rounded to the nearest pg mL⁻¹).

Answer Options

A. 3 hours; approximately 166 pg mL⁻¹
B. 1 hour; approximately 213 pg mL⁻¹
C. 2 hours; approximately 190 pg mL⁻¹
