Solution

The correct option is A Ovary
The source of mammalian hormone relaxin is the ovary which is secreted during the time of parturition. As it is produced by the ovary and placenta it has some very important effects on the female reproductive system and also in pregnancy. It helps during the time of childbirth by relaxing the ligaments in the pelvis and softens and widens the cervix.
So, the correct answer is A.
