The correct option is A Progesterone
Progesterone is an endogenous steroid hormone present in females and is involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and embryogenesis.
Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. In humans and other mammals, testosterone is secreted primarily by the testicles of the males and to a lesser extent, the ovaries of the females.
Thyroxine is one of the two major hormones produced by the thyroid gland, present at the base of the throat secreted by all humans.
Adrenaline is a hormone and a neurotransmitter present in all humans.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (A), 'Progesterone'.
