Solution

The correct option is C Rennin
Rennin is an enzyme synthesized by the chief cells of the stomach. It plays a role in the digestion of coagulate milk in the stomach. It is present in infants only and replaced by pepsin in adults.

Renin is an enzyme made by special cells in kidneys. It is a hormone synthesized by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney. It is a part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system — a chain reaction designed to regulate blood pressure.
Trypsin is an enzyme that helps to digest protein. In the small intestine, trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach. It may also be referred to as a proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase.
Pepsin is an enzyme made in the stomach that breaks down proteins in food during digestion. Stomach acid changes a protein called pepsinogen into pepsin.

So, the correct answer is- option a.
