The answer is the first one: HCG.

Explanation for each option:

  • HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin): This is the correct answer. HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy by the placenta shortly after the embryo attaches to the uterine lining. Pregnancy tests are designed to detect this hormone in urine or blood.

  • HBV (Hepatitis B Virus): This is incorrect. HBV is a virus that causes hepatitis B, a liver infection. It is not related to pregnancy tests.

  • THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): This is incorrect. THC is the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is not related to pregnancy tests.

  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): This is incorrect. TSH is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. It is not related to pregnancy tests.

In summary, pregnancy tests detect the presence of the hormone HCG.
