The correct option is
C

Androgen
Androgens are the hormones that give men their 'male' characteristics.
Oestrogen, progesterone and HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) are all female hormones. Oestrogen and progesterone are secreted by the ovary, and HCG is secreted by the placenta in pregnant women. Androgens are the male hormones.
