ANS: C
Estrogen is the primary female hormone and is responsible for the development of secondary sex characteristics. Physical changes associated with puberty usually begin between ages 11 and 13. A 17-year-old female who has not yet developed these features may have an estrogen deficiency. A family pedigree may be beneficial, but not as the first step. A pregnancy test would not illustrate the cause of the problem.
