Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Placenta releases human chorionic gonadotropic hormone (hCG) which stimulates the Corpus luteum during pregnancy to release estrogen and progesterone and also rescues corpus luteum from regression. Human placental lactogen (hPL) is involved in growth of body of mother and breast. Progesterone maintains pregnancy, keeps the uterus silent by increasing uterine threshold to contractile stimuli.
