Solution
The correct option is D Renin
When the blood volume and blood pressure decrease, juxtaglomerular cells (JGA) in the kidneys secrete the enzyme renin. Renin catalyzes the conversion of another enzyme that is involved in regulation of blood pressure called angiotensinogen to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and it helps in increasing blood pressure and thus maintaining GFR.
Antidiuretic hormone also known as vasopressin is released by the posterior pituitary lobe when the blood has high osmolarity (number of solute particles per litre of solution).
