(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Explanation:

Urea is the chief nitrogenous constituent of human urine, though it possesses small amount of ammonia. But when the urine is allowed to stand for sometime, bacterial degradation occurs and it leads to the production of ammonia from urine. And thus it smells strongly.
