Solution
The correct option is C starts to degenerate
Corpus luteum is formed from the ruptured Graafian follicle after ovulation. It sustains in case pregnancy occurs and keeps secreting progesterone to maintain the uterine endometrium.
However, if pregnancy doesn’t occur, the corpus luteum starts to degenerate. This leads to an abrupt decrease in progesterone, which also marks the beginning of the next menstrual cycle.
FSH and LH are produced by the anterior pituitary.
Oxytocin is produced by the hypothalamus.
Relaxin hormone is produced both by the ovary and placenta to facilitate childbirth.
