Disturbance in _ may lead to miscarriage or premature birth.
Correct answer: B. Progesterone
- A. LH
- B. Progesterone
- C. FSH
- D. Estrogen
Explanation
The correct answer is Progesterone. Progesterone is vital for maintaining the uterine lining during pregnancy, providing the necessary environment for the developing embryo. A disturbance in progesterone levels can lead to the uterine lining not being properly maintained, increasing the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. On the other hand, LH and FSH are primarily involved in the ovulation and menstrual cycle processes and do not have direct roles in maintaining pregnancy. Estrogen has a broader role in the reproductive system, but its direct linkage to miscarriage or premature birth is not as significant as that of progesterone.
