Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Urea is more toxic than ammonia.

Ammonia is more water soluble and more toxic than Urea or uric acid. Ammonia is extremely toxic and its accumulation in the body can be lethal. So the liver converts toxic ammonia into less toxic urea through the urea cycle.

So, the correct answer is 'Option A'.
