Solution

The correct option is C Teleosts
Ornithine cycle is a sequence of cyclic reactions in which potentially toxic products of protein catabolism are converted to non-toxic urea. The ornithine cycle has been found in mammals, frogs, turtles, and earthworms but is absent in snakes, birds, and bony fishes (teleosts).
