Answer»

Right choice is (a) Mammals

The EXPLANATION is: Those organisms which secrete uric acid as a nitrogenous waste are KNOWN as uricotelic organisms. Some uricotelic organisms are REPTILES, birds, land snails, and insects. They excrete uric acid in the form of a pellet or paste to conserve WATER and to reduce the weight of the BODY because removal of uric acid requires a minimum amount of water.
