Solution

The correct option is C Progesterone
The second trimester is the middle three months of pregnancy. Progesterone and HCG are responsible for maintaining pregnancy in the second trimester. It maintains the endometrium lining of the uterus due to which menstrual cycle does not occur during the pregnancy. It is released by the ovary and to some extent from the placenta. So, the correct option is D.
