Solution

The correct option is A

Renin


The cells of juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) form a protein called renin. Renin serves as an enzyme in the conversion of plasma protein angiotensinogen into angiotensin I and further to angiotensin II. The renin- angiotensin-aldosterone system maintains homeostasis.
