During menstruation, what hormone induces Lobular-Alveolar development in the breast?

Estrogen
Progesterone
Prolactin
Oxytocin

The correct answer is: Estrogen

During menstruation, estrogen is the hormone responsible for inducing Lobular-Alveolar development in the breast. Estrogen is crucial in stimulating the growth and development of the breast tissue required for lactation. As menstruation occurs, estrogen levels rise, leading to the proliferation of mammary ducts and alveoli, which are essential structures for milk production. Therefore, estrogen plays a key role in preparing the breast for potential breastfeeding during the menstrual cycle.
