Solution

The correct option is C If the assertion is true but the reason is false
Aquatic annelids excrete ammonia, and terrestrial species (earthworm) excrete urea. However, earthworms are less ureotelic than other terrestrial animals. Excretory fluid contains 40% urea, 20% ammonia and 40% amino acids and other nitrogenous compounds, but no uric acid or urate.
