Solution

The correct option is C Renin
The enzyme renin is secreted by the specialized cells of the kidney called granular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus in response to three stimuli : 1. decrease in arterial blood pressure detected by baroreceptors, 2. a decrease in sodium chloride levels in the ultrafiltrate of the nephron, 3. sympathetic nervous system activity, which also controls blood pressure, acting through the beta1 adrenergic receptors.
