Solution

The correct option is A

Human chorionic gonadotropin


Placenta also acts as an endocrine tissue and produces several hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), estrogens, progestogens, etc. Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals. Insulin production is regulated based on blood sugar levels and other hormones in the body. Somatotropic hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, and stimulates growth in humans.
