What is the primary hormone responsible for maintaining the endometrium during pregnancy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Progesterone. Progesterone is the primary hormone responsible for maintaining the endometrium during pregnancy. It helps thicken the endometrial lining to support implantation and nourishment of the embryo. Progesterone also inhibits contractions of the uterus to prevent premature labor. Estrogen, while important in preparing the endometrium for implantation, is not the primary hormone responsible for its maintenance during pregnancy. FSH and LH are involved in the menstrual cycle and ovulation but are not directly responsible for maintaining the endometrium during pregnancy.
