Solution
The correct option is D Urea
Human beings are ureotelic animals. They excrete mainly urea eliminated via the urine. Urea is a product of the degradation of amino acids. In this process, amino acids lose their amine group which is then transformed into ammonia. In the liver, ammonia reacts with carbon dioxide to form urea and water, a process called ureogenesis. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
