Solution

The correct option is B

Progesterone


Ovaries secrete two hormones: oestrogen and progesterone. Oestrogen is involved in changes in the ovaries that lead to ovulation, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Progesterone is involved in the growth and maintenance of uterine lining for the embryo.
