Solution

The correct option is A Mammals
Those organisms which secrete uric acid as a nitrogenous waste are known as uricotelic organisms. Some uricotelic organisms are reptiles, birds, land snails, and insects. They excrete uric acid in the form of a pellet or paste to conserve water and to reduce the weight of the body because removal of uric acid requires a minimum amount of water.
