Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Angiotensinogen is a plasma protein produced and secreted by the liver cells. Renin is secreted from juxtaglomerular cells and acts enzymatically on angiotensinogen to release 10 amino acid contaning peptide angiotensin-I. Macula densa is actually a plaque in wall at the end of thick assending limb of nephrons.
