Solution

The correct option is B Urea
The nitrogen-containing compounds excreted by the sculpin, starry flounder, and blue sea-perch were investigated. Approximately four-fifths of the nitrogenous material was excreted via the gills. Ammonia and urea were the main components of the excreta in all three species. The amount excreted in 24 hours varied greatly between fish of any one species, but the percentage composition was reasonably constant.

So, the correct option is 'Urea'.
