Solution

The correct option is D Renin
When blood volume is low, juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys secrete renin directly into circulation. The juxtaglomerular cells are cells in the kidney that synthesize, store, and secrete the enzyme renin. Plasma renin then carries out the conversion of angiotensinogen released by the liver to angiotensin I.
