Explanation:
The blood vessel coming out from the kidney will contain the lowest concentration of urea (although kidneys contain only a small amount of urea to maintain osmolarity). And the blood vessel coming out from the liver will contain the highest concentration of urea.

A - Blood enters the liver through the hepatic artery.
B - Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery.
C - Blood leaves the kidney through the renal vein.
D - Blood leaves the liver through the hepatic vein.
C) Renal vein will contain the lowest concentration of urea.
- Urea is formed in the liver and not in the kidneys.
- Blood coming through renal arteries has the lowest concentration of urea because it is filtered out in the kidney itself.
