Solution

The correct option is C Uric acid
Ammonia is the excretory product of aquatic animals and requires a large amount of water for excretion. While terrestrial animals like birds, reptiles and insects excrete uric acid to conserve water, so they are uricotelic. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
