Solution

The correct option is B Nucleic acid
Uric acid is a waste product that results from the breakdown of purine, a nucleic acid. Uric acid is made in the liver and excreted by the kidneys. If the liver produces too much uric acid or the kidneys excrete too little, the patient will have too much uric acid in the blood. This condition is called hyperuricemia.
