Menopause typically occurs between which ages?

• A. 45-50
• B. 25-30
• C. 50-55
• D. 60-65

Answer: (A)

Menopause is the end of a woman’s reproductive years due to a decline in ovarian function and estrogen production. It typically occurs in the midlife years, with most women entering menopause around age 50 and a common range from about 45 to 55. The average age is about 51. Among the given options, the range that best reflects this common window is the one that includes the late 40s to around 50, since menopause often begins in the defined late-40s and progresses into the early 50s. The other options—ages in the 20s–30s, or in the 60s–65 range—do not match the typical timing of menopause.
