Solution

The correct option is B Liver
The urea cycle (also known as the Ornithine cycle) is a cycle of biochemical reactions occurring in many animals that produces urea ((NH2)2CO) from ammonia (NH3). In mammals, the urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver, and to a lesser extent in the kidney.
