Solution

The correct option is C Tadpoles
The process of excreting ammonia is ammonotelism. Many bony fishes, aquatic amphibians, frog larva i.e., tadpole and aquatic insects are ammonotelic in nature. Ammonia, as it is readily soluble, is generally excreted by diffusion across body surfaces or through gill surfaces (in fish) as ammonium ions. Kidneys do not play any significant role in its removal.
