B) Copulation stimulates sensory neurons in the cervix → a surge of LH stimulates ovulation in the ovaries → neuronal impulses release norepinephrine → GnRH stimulates anterior pituitary cells to secrete LH
C) Copulation stimulates sensory neurons in the cervix → neuronal impulses release norepinephrine → GnRH stimulates anterior pituitary cells to secrete LH → a surge of LH stimulates ovulation in the ovaries
D) GnRH stimulates anterior pituitary cells to secrete LH → copulation stimulates sensory neurons in the cervix → a surge of LH stimulates ovulation in the ovaries → neuronal impulses release norepinephrine
