Solution

The correct option is A ureoletic animals

The uricotelic organism excretes uric acid or its salts. In comparison to Ammonia and Urea, Uric acid is the least toxic and the least soluble in water. It can be stored in cells and body tissues without toxic effects and thus needs least water and is highly efficient mode of excretion in comparison to two other methods. Uricotelic organisms include terrestrial arthropods (including insects), lizards, snakes, and birds. The excreta of uricotelic organisms is typically white paste.
