Answer 1

The correct option is A High level of hCG stimulates the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It helps to thicken a person's uterine lining to support a growing embryo and tells the body to stop menstruation.
To maintain endometrial lining it helps in maintaining level of estrogen and also maintains progesterone levels that helps the uterus (womb) to grow during pregnancy and prevent it from having contractions.
