which of the following produce estrogen or progesterone during pregnancy?
embryo
amniotic fluid
corpus luteum
placenta

Explanation:

• Corpus luteum: In early pregnancy, the corpus luteum produces progesterone to maintain the uterine lining for the embryo.
• Placenta: As pregnancy progresses, the placenta takes over and produces both estrogen and progesterone. The embryo does not produce these hormones in significant amounts for this purpose, and amniotic fluid is a fluid - filled environment around the fetus and does not produce estrogen or progesterone.

Answer:

C. Corpus luteum, D. Placenta
