Solution

The correct option is D Progesterone
  • GH and ACTH are secreted by the cells of the anterior pituitary.
  • Gastrin hormone is produced by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric mobility.
  • The growing placenta produces progesterone prevents the shedding of the uterine lining since this would result in pregnancy loss. It also suppresses the ability of the muscular layer of the uterine wall to contract, which is important in preventing labour from occurring before the end of pregnancy.
  • So, the correct option is 'Progesterone'.
