Solution

The correct option is B Ornithine transcarbamoylase
Formation of citrulline is the second step of the urea cycle. It s synthesized from carbamoyl phosphate and ornithine by ornithine transcarbomoylase. Carbamoyl phosphate synthase-1 is involved in the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate.
So the correct is 'Ornithine transcarbamoylase'.
