C.

High level of hCG stimulates the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone

Human chorionic gonadotropin interacts with the LHCG receptor (luteinizing hormone/chorionadotropin) of the blastocyst and promotes the maintenance of the corpus luteum during the beginning of pregnancy. Corpus luteum secretes the hormone progesterone during the first trimester.
