Solution

The correct option is B Hepatic vein
The hepatic portal vein transports blood from the small intestine to the liver while the hepatic vein transports deoxygenated blood from the liver to the heart. Since liver produces urea, it is the hepatic vein which carries the largest amount of urea from the liver.
So, the correct answer is 'Hepatic vein'
