As we have discussed in Placentation -

  • 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 hCG, hPL and relaxin are produced in women during pregnancy. 
  • In addition, during pregnancy the levels of other hormones like estrogens, progestogens, cortisol, prolactin, thyroxine, etc. are increased several folds in the maternal blood.
  • Increased production of these hormones is essential for supporting the fetal growth, metabolic changes in the mother and maintenance of pregnancy.

Hence, the correct option is (c).
