{'female hormones': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'estrogen': [4, 0, 0, 3], 'progesterone': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'testosterone': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

In this question, we are asked to identify the female hormones among the given options.

Option 1, (i) and (iii), is incorrect because estrogen (i) is a female hormone, but testosterone (iii) is a male hormone.

Option 3, (ii) and (iii), is also incorrect because progesterone (ii) is a female hormone, but testosterone (iii) is a male hormone.

Option 4, only (iii), is incorrect because testosterone (iii) is a male hormone, not a female hormone.

Option 2, (i) and (ii), is the correct answer because both estrogen (i) and progesterone (ii) are female hormones. Estrogen is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system, while progesterone plays a key role in preparing the body for pregnancy.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
