Solution

The correct option is C Ammonia
Ammonia, the product of oxidative deamination reactions, is toxic in even small amounts and must be removed from the body. The urea cycle or the ornithine cycle describes the conversion reactions of ammonia into urea. Since, these reactions occur in the liver, the urea is then transported to the kidneys, where it is excreted.
