本题详细解析:
Early in pregnancy, a human embryo secretes the hormone hCG, human chorionic gonadotrophin. This hormone maintains the corpus luteum in the ovary so that it secretes progesterone, which helps prepare the lining of the uterus for the implantation of the embryo. LH (Choice A) and FSH (Choice D) are released by the pituitary gland, not the embryo. Oestradiol (Choice B) is released by the ovaries, not the embryo.
