The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that an increase in glomerular blood pressure activates the juxtaglomerular (JG) cells of the kidney to release renin. - **Analysis**: In reality, an increase in glomerular blood pressure does not activate the JG cells to release renin. Instead, it is typically a decrease in blood pressure or blood volume that stimulates renin release. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that angiotensin I is a powerful vasoconstrictor. - **Analysis**: Angiotensin I is not a powerful vasoconstrictor; it is angiotensin II that has this effect. Angiotensin I is converted from angiotensinogen by renin and then further converted to angiotensin II by the enzyme ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme). Thus, this reason is also **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we can conclude that the correct answer is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false.

A fall in glomerular blood flow/glomerular blood pressure/GFR can activate the JG cells to release

Assertion: Angiotensin II increases the glomerular blood pressure thereby GFR. Reason: Angiotensin II activates the JG cells to release renin.
