Solution

The correct option is D Production of progesterone, regulation of early pregnancy
Corpus luteum produces progesterone. Progesterone is required for a viable pregnancy to occur and continue. It helps to maintain the uterine lining, which is known as the endometrium, and prepares it for the implantation of a fertilized egg.
