Solution

The correct option is B Nucleic acids
Nitrogenous wastes are produced during the metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids. One of them is uric acid, which is a purine just like adenine and guanine from our DNA. Nitrogenous wastes are metabolic wastes whereas excreta or feces are the digestive waste.
