Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The hormones that are produced only during pregnancy are human Placental Lactogen (hPL), human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) and relaxin.
hCG Promotes maintenance of the corpus luteum during the beginning of pregnancy. It is used for testing pregnancy.

Relaxin Its role is to relax the joints in the pelvis so, as to make a room for the baby to pass through the birth canal.
