{'angiotensin': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'adreneal gland': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'aldosterone': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'antidiuretic hormone': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'digestive enzymes': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'lacrimal glands': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'pancreas': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'human body': [40, 2, 44, 29]}

Option 1: The pancreas is responsible for producing and releasing digestive enzymes, but angiotensin does not stimulate the pancreas to do so. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2: The adrenal gland is responsible for producing and releasing aldosterone. Angiotensin does stimulate the adrenal gland to release this hormone. Aldosterone helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body. Therefore, option 2 is correct.

Option 3: The lacrimal glands are responsible for producing tears, but angiotensin does not stimulate these glands. Therefore, option 3 is incorrect.

Option 4: The pituitary gland is responsible for producing and releasing antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Angiotensin does not stimulate the pituitary gland to release ADH. Therefore, option 4 is incorrect.

In conclusion, angiotensin stimulates the adrenal gland to release aldosterone.
