ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Premenopause includes the reproductive years; there is great potential for childbearing. Perimenopause is a transitional period prior to menopause. Menopause occurs after 12 months without menstruation, typically around age 50. Postmenopause is the period from menopause to death (may be as much as a third of life).
