Solution

The correct option is A Bilirubin
Hepatitis is the viral infection of the liver and leads to jaundice. Jaundice is the condition in which bilirubin content in the blood and its deposition in various body parts get increased. Bilirubin is the yellow colored bile pigment, which is breakdown product synthesized from non-iron part of heme in haemoglobin. Excessive bilirubin may be excreted in the urine causing yellowing of urine.
