(d) none of the above
Explanation:
Rennin (also called rennet or chymosin) is an coagulating enzyme produced from stomach of human body. It catalyzes the coagulation of milk by converting milk with soluble protein caesin into insoluble semi fluid calcium paracaesinate. This is called curdling of milk. Rennin produced in the infants immediately after birth. As the child grows, rennin production goes down and is replaced by pepsin digestive enzymes.
Renin is an enzyme which acts as hormone secreted by juxtaglomerular cells. It converts angiotensinogen into angiotensin.
