Solution

The correct option is D Uremia
Uremia is a medical condition produced by the toxic effects of abnormally high concentrations of nitrogenous substances in the blood as a result of the kidney's failure to expel waste products by way of the urine. The end products of protein metabolism accumulate in the blood but are normally filtered out when the blood passes through the kidneys. Uremia can result from any disorder that impairs the functioning of the kidneys or that hinders the excretion of urine from the body.
