A	Oxytocin	1	Prepare endometrium for implantation
B	LH	2	Develops female secondary sexual characters
C	Progesterone	3	Contraction of uterine wall
D	Estrogen	4	Development of corpus luteum.

• A. A- 3, B- 4, C- 1, D- 2
• B. A- 4, B- 3, C- 2, D- 1
• C. A- 3, B- 4, C- 2, D- 1
• D. A- 3, B- 1, C- 2, D- 4

Answer 1

The correct option is A A- 3, B- 4, C- 1, D- 2

In human females, gonadotropins (LH and FSH) stimulates the LH surge which induces the rupture of the Graafian follicle along with the release of an ovum (ovulation) and the ruptured Graafian follicle transform as the corpus luteum.

The corpus luteum secretes large amounts of progesterone, which is essential for the maintenance of the endometrium for pregnancy.

Oxytocin is used to cause contraction of the uterus in order to start labour or increase the speed of labour, and to stop bleeding following delivery.

Estrogens are hormones that are responsible for the development and regulation of secondary sexual characters in women.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
