Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
hPL (= human placental lactogen) has lactogenic properties, thus supporting prolactin from mother's pituitary during pregnancy. hCG (= human chorionic gonadotrophin) stimulates corpus luteum of pregnancy to continue secrete progesterone. Relaxin, secreted by corpus luteum, facilitates parturition by softening the connective tissue of public symphysis.
