Vedclass · Answer

(D) During the early stages of pregnancy, the $Corpus 	ext{ } Luteum$ is essential for the secretion of progesterone, which maintains the endometrium and supports the developing foetus.In the third week of pregnancy, the placenta is not yet fully functional to take over the production of progesterone.If the $Corpus 	ext{ } Luteum$ regresses at this stage, the source of progesterone is lost.As a result, the progesterone level in the blood drops significantly, leading to the shedding of the endometrium.Consequently, the pregnancy cannot be maintained, and the foetus is aborted.
