Solution

The correct option is B Estrogen; progesterone
Progesterone and estrogen are necessary to prepare the uterus for menstruation, and their release is triggered by the hypothalamus. Estrogens are a group of sex hormones that promote the development and maintenance of female characteristics in the human body. During the menstrual cycle, estrogen produces an environment suitable for the fertilization, implantation, and nutrition of an early embryo. Progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy by causing the uterine lining to thicken. If a woman is not pregnant, the corpus luteum disappears.
So the correct option is 'estrogen, progesterone'.
