Options
- A(A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
- B(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- D(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
Correct answer
D. (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
Step-by-step solution
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is secreted by the placenta. Relaxin is secreted by the ovary in the later phase of pregnancy. Oxytocin is released from the maternal pituitary during parturition and acts on the uterine muscles. Progesterone is secreted by the corpus luteum to maintain the endometrium for pregnancy. Therefore, the correct match is (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III). Answer: (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
