Solution

The correct option is C Renin
Renin is often improperly referred to as a hormone, although it has no peripheral receptors and rather has an enzymatic activity with which it hydrolyzes angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. The renin enzyme circulates in the blood stream and breaks down (hydrolyzes) angiotensinogen, secreted from the liver into the peptide angiotensin I.
