The correct answer is: Excretion of Na+ in urine
Angiotensin II performs 2 functions:

I. Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor → Vasoconstriction → Glomerular blood pressure increases → GFR increases.

II. Angiotensin II activates the adrenal cortex → Release of Aldosterone → Reabsorption of Na+ and water from the distal parts of the tubule → Increase in blood pressure → GFR increases.
