the hormone produced by the corpus luteum that is the primary ovarian hormone after ovulation is ______.
○ estrogen
○ androgen
○ progesterone
○ lh

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Estrogen: Primarily produced by the ovaries (follicles) before ovulation, not the main post - ovulation hormone from corpus luteum.
• Androgen: Male - associated hormones, not the primary ovarian hormone after ovulation from corpus luteum.
• Progesterone: The corpus luteum (formed after ovulation) produces progesterone, which is the primary ovarian hormone post - ovulation, helping in preparing the uterus for pregnancy.
• LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Produced by the pituitary gland, not by the corpus luteum.

Answer:

C. progesterone
