Solution

The correct option is C Liver cells
Angiotensinogen is a plasma protein produced and secreted by liver cells. It is a sole precursor of all angiotensin peptide. Juxtaglomerular cells secrete renin which acts on angiotensinogen to release angiotensin I and then it is converted to angiotensin II by the action of enzyme angiotensin-converting enzymes.
So, the correct answer is 'Liver cells'.
