Solution

The correct option is B Uraemia
Accumulation of urea in body is called uraemia. It may be due to kidney failure and other metabolic waste products may also accumulate. Uraemia develops after about 7 days of anuria (absence of urine) because of the reduced glomerular filtration rate and impaired tubular secretion of urea. Increased blood urea usually leads to confusion and mental disorientation.
