Solution

The correct option is B Corpus luteum
The site of production and secretion of progesterone is mainly the corpus luteum in the ovaries.
It is also produced by the placenta and adrenal glands in small quantities.
It helps to thicken the wall of the uterine lining or endometrium and maintains pregnancy.
Thus, it helps to prepare a supportive environment in the uterus for a fertilized egg.
