Solution

The correct option is A Aminotelic
Certain invertebrates like some molluscs (Unio, Limnaea, etc.) and some echinoderms (e.g., Asterias) excrete excess amino acids as such. These animals are called aminotelic and their mode of excretion is called aminotelism.
So, the correct option is 'Aminotelic'.
