Solution

This is because Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a metabolic disorder in which the body cannot break down certain parts of proteins. The urine of someone with this condition can smell like maple syrup. The amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine are the ones primarily affected. Therefore, the correct answer is b. Leucine.
