Solution

The correct option is A Waste matter deposited by seabirds (Guano)
The concentration of uric acid is high in the waste matter deposited by seabirds (Guano), which is also used as a fertilizer. It can be collected from uninhabited marine or littoral islands easily and in large scale. Other animals produce uric acid in very fewer concentrations and not used commercially.
The correct answer is 'Waste matter deposited by seabirds (guano)'.
