Solution

The correct option is A
Liver

Liver converts harmful substances entering the body and those produced inside the body into harmless substances. Synthesis of urea from ammonia is an example of this. Ammonia formed in tissues diffuses into the blood and blood transports it to the liver. In liver, ammonia combines with carbon dioxide and water to form urea.
