Hint:

The corpus luteum produces progesterone to maintain pregnancy, but if fertilization does not happen, it degenerates into corpus albicans.

The Correct Option is D

The corpus luteum degenerates into the corpus albicans when fertilization does not occur. The corpus albicans is a fibrous scar tissue that replaces the corpus luteum in the ovary.
