Solution

The correct option is C Corpus luteum
The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure in female mammals, that is involved in the production of progesterone and moderate levels of estradiol and inhibin. The corpus luteum develops from an ovarian follicle during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle or oestrous cycle, following the release of a secondary oocyte from the follicle during ovulation.
