Solution
The correct option is C Corpus luteum
The corpus luteum is the remnant structure of the Graafian follicle after the secondary oocyte is released during ovulation.
Corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine gland and it secretes relaxin and progesterone hormones.
Relaxin plays a major role in the softening, or ripening, of the cervix, thus allowing for smooth parturition. Relaxin is produced only during pregnancy.
