Hello Student
Correct answer is 3. stomach – Caseinogen
Renin occurs in gastric juice and is a constituent of rennet. It coagulates milk by converting caseinogen to casein.

The correct answer is (3) Stomach-Caseinogen

For example, curd formation (rennet coagulation) is a reaction that occurs upon adding the enzyme rennin to milk. In this reaction, the substrate is a milk protein (e.g., casein) and the enzyme is rennin.
