Solution

The correct option is A Make the use of exess amino acid
  • In case of excess intake of amino acids, deamination occurs in the liver to get rid of the excess amino acids present in the body.
  • When excess amino acids reach the liver it is converted into urea, which forms the major part of urine.
  • This deamination results in the production of energy.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Make the use of excess amino acid'.
