The correct answer to this question is option D – I Letter I, which represents corpus luteum, will produce progesterone, estrogens, relaxin, and inhibin. Progesterone, estrogens, relaxin, and inhibin are vital hormones involved in the menstrual cycle as well as pregnancy. Corpus luteum is a hormone-secreting mass of cells present in the ovary. It produces the hormones mentioned above during early pregnancy.

During ovulation, the egg is released from the matured follicle, and the egg can get fertilized. The follicle becomes the corpus luteum, and it produces hormones that sustain pregnancy in the 8 to 9 weeks until the growing fetus is able to make enough hormones to sustain it. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum stops secreting hormones, and it degenerates after some days.

The correct answer to this question is D. The letter I is the corpus luetum, which products progesterone, estrogens, relaxin, and inhibin. Progesterone is a steroid and sex hormone. It is involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy of humans. It is also used in medications such as menopausal hormone therapy. Estrogen are hormones in women that promote healthy sexual and reproductive development.

It helps reduce night sweats, hot flashes, and the chance of recieving an urinary tract infection. Relaxin is a hormone released by the placenta. It causes the cervix to dilate and prepares body for labor. Inhibin is a hormone released by the gonads and is instrumental in fetal development.
