Which of the following hormone/enzyme is/are correctly paired with its function?
(i) Renin – Enzyme that catalyses the formation of angiotensin I.
(ii) Aldosterone – Regulates water reabsorption at the distal convoluted tubule.
(iii) Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) – It is a powerful vasoconstrictor that stimulates the secretion of aldosterone.
(iv) Angiotensin II – Promotes reabsorption of sodium at distal convoluted tubule.
