The question Based on the information in the passage, what conclusions can be drawn regarding hypothalamic regulation of LH in females?

What is wrong with answer choice B?
 
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the question is Item 106?

If so, you must combine the information in the third paragraph along with the information in the table. NPY alone, produces only 0.28 ng/mL in the blood. GnRH alone, produces only 4.74 ng/mL, but together they produce 7.03 ng/mL. Something is going on here. Since the passage is about hypothalamic factors and neuromodulators, you could safely assume that NPY is an enhancer because it enhances production of LH. high-frequency GnRH pulses stimulate LH release. There are differences in GnRH secretion between females and males. In males, GnRH is secreted in pulses at a constant frequency, but, in females, the frequency of the pulses varies during the menstrual cycle, and there is a large surge of GnRH just before ovulation.
