Solution
The correct option is A hCG Human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG is the hormone which is present in females only during the state of pregnancy. They can be found in the urine. Being hCG positive confirms the state of pregnancy in a female.
Estrogens and progesterone are produced by the ovaries in a female irrespective of pregnancy.
Luteinising hormone helps to control the menstrual cycle. It also triggers the release of an ovum from the ovary or ovulation.
