Answer

Both LH and FSH attain a peak level in the middle of cycle (about 14th day).
Rapid secretion of LH leading to its maximum level during the mid-cycle called LH surge induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum (ovulation).
The remaining cells of ovarian follicles are stimulated by the LH to transform into corpus luteum. The corpus luteum secretes large amount of progesterone which is essential for maintenance of the endometrium.
