Solution

The correct option is D Progesterone
Menstrual flow results due to the breakdown of the endometrial lining of the uterus.
Endometrial thickness is maintained by progesterone.
Progesterone is secreted mainly from corpus luteum.
In the absence of fertilisation, the corpus luteum degenerates. This causes breakdown of the endometrium resulting in menstruation.
So, the correct option is 'Progesterone'.
