Although produced in both males and females, by the mid-teens, estradiol production in females is times greater than it was before puberty, while testosterone production in males is times greater than it was before puberty.

Although produced in both males and females, by the mid-teens, estradiol production in females is 8 times greater than it was before puberty, while testosterone production in males is 20 times greater than it was before puberty.

Explanation:

Puberty is the transition phase in which somatic growth and sexual development are completed, with the consequent acquisition of reproductive capacity. Estradiol is the most potent and abundant estrogen, it is secreted by the ovarian follicle granulosa cells and also by the corpus luteum. testosterone is the hormone responsible for the emergence of  secondary sexual characteristics, sperm production and increased  sexual drive, aggression, height growth and physical strength, among  others. There are many differences in body composition between both sexes, and those differences are also present in the hormones concentration. While estradiol is 8 times greater after puberty in females, this number is 20 times greatern in males, when we are talking about testosterone

well, that's easy; the answer's c, "it reduces contamination of the water and substrate of the estuary."
