Solution
The correct option is D LH
LH-Luteinizing Hormone is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. The placenta is an organ that connects the developing embryo (foetus) and maternal body (uterine wall) to allow nutrient uptake, waste elimination and gas exchange via the mother's blood supply. Placenta also acts as an endocrine tissue and produces several hormones like Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Human Placental Lactogen (hPL), estrogens, progesterone, etc.
