Solution
The correct option is C Pancreas
The role played by the liver in excretion is a conversion of ammonia (a major toxic metabolic nitrogenous product) into urea which is excreted through urine.
Sweat is primarily composed of water (99%), various salts, and organic compounds in solution. It contains minute amounts of fatty materials, urea, and other wastes. It removes sweat.
Enzymes, or digestive juices, produced by the pancreas are secreted into the small intestine to further break down food after it has left the stomach. It has no role in excretion.
