Next time please provide explanation @Bluff and @prakharluv ...direct answers won't help in future...it'll only hurt >.>

Answer 4

Urea has a sufficiently strong dipole moment at biologic pHs - that is, the charges differ sufficiently from one side of the molecule to the other - to disrupt the relatively smaller non-covalent charge interactions that hold proteins together. With these bonds messed up, the proteins denature.
