Solution
In absence of fertilization, corpus luteum degenerates into corpus albicans.

If fertilization does not take place, the corpus luteum degenerates into a white scar tissue called Corpus albicans. This happens because, in the absence of pregnancy, the corpus luteum ceases to function and undergoes regression, eventually forming the corpus albicans.
