Solution

The correct option is B
Oestrogen
Oestrogen and progestrone are both produced by ovaries. These hormones influence the secondary sexual characters in females. Oestrogen is responsible for the growth and thickening of endometrium. Progestrone is responsible for the maintenance of endometrium. Endometrium is the innermost layer of the uterus on which the embryo implants. Follicle stimulating hormone and luteinising hormone are produced by the pituitary gland.
