    A)  ornithine cycle                                

    B)  citrulline cycle  

    C)         fumarine cycle                

    D)         arginine cycle

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Omithine combines with one molecule of \[N{{H}_{3}}\] and \[C{{O}_{2}}\] to produce citrulline. Citrulline combines with another molecule of \[N{{H}_{2}}\] to form arginine. Arginine is broken down into urea and omithine which repeat the cycle. This cycle known as ornithinc cycle.
