Solution
The correct option is B Injection of human chorionic gonadotropin Human chorionic gonadotropin is used as shot or injection during the process of IVF. This hormone is an analogue for LH (leutinising hormone) which is responsible for development of egg and ovulation. The injection is given as a shot in the muscles. The eggs which were produced by ovarian hyperstimulation are released and made available for the process of IVF.
