Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Endometriosis occurs when uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus, typically on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic lining. It can cause pain and fertility issues. Chronic vulvar pain or discomfort and enlarged, non-ovulating ovaries are not characteristic of endometriosis. Staphylococcal bacteria can cause infections but are not directly related to endometriosis.
