Solution

The correct option is D Homogentisic acid
Excretion and secretion are same in nature, since both are involved in passage or movement of materials. Both processes involve movement and elimination of unwanted components from the body. Excretion is the removal of materials from a living being, while secretion is movement of material from one point to other point.
