Solution

The correct option is A Angiotensinogen
Calcitrol is produced by the cells of the proximal tubule of the nephron in the kidneys. Erythropoietin is also produced by the kidney. Renin is secreted by the juxtaglomerular kidney cells. Angiotensinogen is a component of the renin-angiotensin (RAS) system and is released into circulation mainly by the liver. So, the correct answer is 'Angiotensinogen'.
