Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
During pregnancy, the placenta acts as an endocrine tissue and produces several hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), estrogens, progestogens, etc.
In the later phase of pregnancy, a hormone called relaxin is also secreted by the ovary.
The hormones hCG, hPL, and relaxin are produced in women only during pregnancy. Other hormones like estrogen, progesterone, inhibin, and activin are also produced during the normal menstrual cycle in non-pregnant women.
Answer: hCG, HPL and relaxin
