Solution
The correct option is D Ammonia
The byproducts of protein metabolism like the ammonia are toxic to the body. So, it is very important to convert it into non-toxic products. Hence they are converted to urea in the liver by a process known as urea cycle or ornithine cycle. So even if a person eats a diet rich in protein, there will be relatively no effect on ammonia.
