Answer 1

(4)

Explanation:

Kidneys eliminate more than just urea and water. They also remove excess salts, uric acid, creatinine, and other metabolic wastes from the blood. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is false.

Urea is not the most poisonous nitrogenous waste. Ammonia is more toxic than urea. Urea is less toxic and can be transported in the blood to the kidneys for excretion. Therefore, the Reason (R) is also false.

Hence, both A and R are false.
