AAdrenaline hormone
BLuteinizing hormone
CFollicle stimulating hormone
DProgesterone
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Progesterone
1. The leftover tissue of the burst follicle becomes the corpus luteum.
2. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone.
3. Progesterone makes the endometrial glands secrete, readying the lining for implantation.
4. FSH and LH come from the pituitary and adrenaline is unrelated, so those are ruled out.
