Solution

The correct option is C hCG and hPL
hPL (Human placental lactogen) is a hormone secreted by the syncytiotrophoblast during pregnancy. It modifies the metabolic state of the mother during pregnancy to facilitate the energy supply of the fetus and also has anti-insulin properties.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the placenta after implantation.
So the correct option is 'hCG and hPL'.
