Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Renin is an enzyme that catalyses the formation of angiotensin I.

Aldosterone promotes reabsorption of sodium at distal convoluted tubule.

Anti- diuretic hormone (ADH) regulates water reabsorption at the distal convoluted tubule.

Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor that stimulates the secretion of aldosterone.
