The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the conversion of angiotensinogen to aldosterone through various stages, we will identify the components A, B, and C in the process. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Substance:** - The process begins with **angiotensinogen**, which is a precursor protein produced by the liver. 2. **Conversion to Angiotensin-I:** - Angiotensinogen is converted into **Angiotensin-I** in the presence of an enzyme called **renin**. - Therefore, **A = Renin**. 3. **Conversion to Angiotensin-II:** - Angiotensin-I is then converted into **Angiotensin-II** by the action of an enzyme known as **angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)**. - Thus, **B = Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE)**. 4. **Final Conversion to Aldosterone:** - Angiotensin-II stimulates the adrenal cortex to release **aldosterone**, which is a steroid hormone that helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance. - Hence, **C = Adrenal Cortex**. ### Final Answer: - A = Renin - B = Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) - C = Adrenal Cortex
