Solution
The correct option is B by measuring the hCG levels in urine
After the transfer of the embryo into the uterus by a technique called intrauterine transfer (IUT), it is important to check whether the embryo has implanted itself in the endometrium. Initially, the trophoblast cells of the embryo secrete hCG. The process of implantation ultimately leads to the formation of placenta. Placenta is a temporary organ that connects the mother and the foetus. It also acts as a temporary endocrine organ. The various hormones produced by placenta are human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), relaxin, and a certain quantity of progesterone and estrogen. Successful implantation of the embryo leads to pregnancy which can be tested using a pregnancy test kit.
For attempting a pregnancy test, the kit contains a few strips. The strips contain antibodies that help detect the presence of hCG in urine. A positive result (denoted by 2 lines) indicates pregnancy. A negative result (denoted by a single line), shows the absence of pregnancy.
Gonadotropins are the hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary that stimulate gametogenesis and sex hormone production in both males and females. They are LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone).
Prolactin is released by the anterior pituitary and is responsible for milk production in females after the birth of their child.
Thyroxine is released by the thyroid gland. It mainly regulates the basal metabolic rate(BMR) of the body.
