Solution

The correct option is D progesterone
Corpus luteum, is formed in an ovary at the site of a follicle, or sac, that has matured and released its ovum. It is made up of lutein cells, making it yellow in color. The corpus luteum secretes the hormone progesterone. If the egg is not fertilized, then the corpus luteum becomes inactive after 10–14 days, and menstruation occurs.
