(4) A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
Answer: Option (1)
Explanation:
Progesterone is a steroid hormone secreted mainly by the corpus luteum after ovulation.
Relaxin is produced by the ovary and helps in relaxation of pelvic ligaments during pregnancy.
Melanocyte stimulating hormone is secreted by the pars intermedia of the pituitary gland.
Catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline are secreted by the adrenal medulla.
Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-II, C-I, and D-III.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (1).
