The correct answer is:
Hepatic vein
Urea -Ornithine cycle takes place in liver so the hepatic vein leaving liver possesses maximum urea. The hepatic veins carry oxygen-depleted blood from the liver to the inferior vena cava.
Harmful nitrogenous waste like ammonia is converted into urea in liver which is later removed by kidneys. Thus, the blood is detoxified of harmful nitrogenous waste.
