Solution

The correct option is A Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone
During pregnancy, human chorionic gonadotropin hormone is released by trophoblastic cells which passes out in urine. Thus, if this hormone appears in urine test, it means the woman is pregnant. This hormone maintains the corpus luteum and stimulates it to secrete progesterone which is required for the maintenance of the uterus.
