Solution

The correct option is D Renin
Renin is a hormone produced by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney.
Renin also acts as an enzyme in the conversion of angiotensin-1 to its active form, angiotensin-2 involved in constriction of blood vessels. Hence renin is both a hormone and an enzyme. Hence, renin is both a hormone and enzyme.
So, the correct answer is 'renin'.
