Solution

The correct option is A
Corpus luteum

The corpus luteum is a structure that develops in the ovary after an ovum has been released. Unless pregnancy occurs, this structure degenerates. The corpus luteum is essential for establishing and maintaining pregnancy in females. It secretes progesterone, which is a steroid hormone responsible for the development of the endometrium and maintenance of pregnancy.
