Solution

The correct option is C Arginase
Argininosuccinate undergoes cleavage by argininosuccinase to form arginine and fumarate. Arginine is cleaved by arginase to form urea and ornithine. The ornithine is then transported back to the mitochondria to begin the urea cycle again.
So, the correct option is 'Arginase'.
