D. Placenta

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone that is primarily secreted by the placenta during pregnancy. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the corpus luteum, which in turn produces progesterone to support the early stages of pregnancy. HCG is also the hormone detected by pregnancy tests.
