Solution

The correct option is C hCG
Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of the hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). hCG is a hormone produced by cells in the placenta. Its production starts from the point at which the developing embryo attaches to the uterus, 6-12 days after conception. LH, FSH and estrogen are present during menstrual cycles also.
