Solution

The correct option is A

Urea


Ammonia combines with carbon dioxide and water to form urea. Ammonia is one of the nitrogenous byproduct formed by the metabolism of the amino acid. It is very harmful and needs to be removed immediately from the body. In the liver, with the help of certain enzymes, ammonia combines with carbon dioxide and water to form urea. Urea is comparatively less toxic and it can dissolve in water.
