The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Juxtaglomerular Cells**: Understand that juxtaglomerular cells are specialized cells located in the kidneys, specifically in the walls of the afferent arterioles near the glomerulus. 2. **Function of Juxtaglomerular Cells**: Recognize that these cells play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. 3. **Hormone Secretion**: Know that the primary hormone secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells is renin. Renin is an enzyme that initiates a cascade of reactions leading to the production of angiotensin II, which helps regulate blood pressure. 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option 1: Angiotensinogen** - This is incorrect because angiotensinogen is produced by the liver, not the kidneys. - **Option 2: Angiotensin II** - This is also incorrect as angiotensin II is produced from angiotensinogen through the action of renin. - **Option 3: Querine** - This is incorrect; querine is not related to the function of juxtaglomerular cells. - **Option 4: Renin** - This is the correct answer as renin is indeed secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells. 5. **Conclusion**: The hormone secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidneys is renin. **Final Answer**: Renin ---
