The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect. After ovulation, the empty Graafian follicle turns into the yellow body called corpus luteum. It becomes a temporary endocrine gland secreting progesterone which helps in implantation. oestrogen is the hormone which helps to maintain the secondary sexual characters in the female.
