Correct Answer :

Option D

A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

Solution :

To match each hormone in List‑I with the structure that primarily secretes it, we consider the well‑known source of each hormone:

1. Progesterone – This steroid hormone is produced in large amounts by the corpus luteum after ovulation. Therefore, Progesterone corresponds to option IV.

2. Relaxin – Relaxin is secreted by the ovary (especially by the corpus luteum and placental tissues) during pregnancy. Hence, Relaxin matches option II.

3. Melanocyte‑stimulating hormone (MSH) – MSH is synthesized in the pars intermedia of the pituitary gland. This gives the pair MSH – pars intermedia, i.e., option I.

4. Catecholamines – The catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine) are produced by the adrenal medulla. Thus, catecholamines correspond to option III.

Putting the matches together gives the final pairing:

A‑IV, B‑II, C‑I, D‑III.
