(D) Pseudopregnancy (also known as false pregnancy) is a condition where an individual exhibits signs and symptoms of pregnancy without the presence of a fetus.In many mammals,this occurs due to the persistence of the corpus luteum after ovulation in the absence of fertilization.The corpus luteum continues to secrete progesterone,which maintains the uterine lining and mimics the hormonal state of pregnancy.Therefore,hormonal imbalance and the absence of fertilization after ovulation are key factors contributing to this condition.
