- C. Estrogen
- D. Progesterone
Answer
A. LH
Step-by-step solution
The human placenta acts as an endocrine tissue and produces several hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), estrogens, and progestogens. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland (adenohypophysis), not by the placenta."
