Solution

The correct option is D Oxygen
Oxygen is not accumulated by the body of living organisms as this is required by the cells to perform respiration. Also, it is not a waste product of the cells. Animals accumulate ammonia, urea, uric acid, carbon dioxide, water, and ions like Na⁺, K⁺, Cl^–, phosphate, sulphate, etc., by certain metabolic activities.
