Solution

The correct option is C progesterone
Once the ovum is fertilised, the corpus luteum continues to release more of progesterone to keep the uterus stable for implantation. On the other hand if the ovum is not fertilised, the ovum disintegrates and the corpus luteum stops producing progesterone.
