The correct option is C Liver
Urea is formed in the liver by a cyclic process called as urea cycle of ornithine cycle or Knely Henseleit cycle. The amino acids that are not needed in the body are deaminated by an enzyme oxidase, producing ammonia NH $_{3}$ . Ammonia is toxic and quickly changes to urea.
So, the correct answer is option C.
