Solution
The correct option is A hCG
The corpus luteum is a structure that is formed by the remains of the graffian follicle and is responsible for the production of high levels of progesterone. If implantation occurs, hCG or human chorionic gonadotropin is produced by the placenta. Its primary function involves signaling the corpus luteum to keep producing progesterone so that the lining of the endometrium is maintained for pregnancy. So, the correct answer is 'hCG'.
