Correct Answer

Explanation

Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor hormone that causes an increase in blood pressure. Its targets include blood vessels and the adrenal cortex. The adrenal cortex is responsible for producing hormones such as aldosterone, which regulates sodium and potassium balance in the body. Angiotensin II stimulates the production of aldosterone, which in turn promotes the retention of sodium and water, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
