What is menarche?

  1. The development of facial hair in boys

  2. The first menstrual period in girls

  3. The onset of puberty

  4. Completion of puberty

The correct answer is: The first menstrual period in girls

Menarche refers to the first menstrual period in girls. This milestone typically occurs around the age of 12 or 13 and marks the beginning of a girl's ability to conceive. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not specifically refer to the onset of menstruation in girls.
