The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Glomerular Pressure**: Glomerular pressure refers to the blood pressure within the glomeruli of the kidneys, which is crucial for the filtration of blood and the formation of urine. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: - a. Lenin - b. Angiotensin - c. Aldosterone - d. ADH 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **a. Lenin**: This option does not relate to renal physiology or blood pressure regulation. - **b. Angiotensin**: Angiotensin is a polypeptide hormone that plays a significant role in regulating blood pressure by constricting blood vessels, which increases systemic blood pressure and glomerular pressure. - **c. Aldosterone**: Aldosterone primarily regulates sodium and water balance but does not directly increase glomerular pressure. - **d. ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)**: ADH regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys but does not directly affect glomerular pressure. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, Angiotensin (option b) is the hormone that increases glomerular pressure by constricting blood vessels and maintaining blood pressure in the kidneys. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **b. Angiotensin**. ---
