Solution

The correct option is C Renin
Endocrine cells present in different parts of the gastro-intestinal tract secrete four major peptide hormones, namely gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP).
Renin enzyme is secreted by the kidneys that participates in the body's renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS).
