Solution

The correct option is C Bird, land reptiles and insect
The animals that excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid are said to be uricotelic. Uric acid is least toxic and least soluble in water. This type of excretion is present in organisms that can withstand very dry terrestrial environments and is most commonly found in birds, terrestrial reptiles and insects. Thus the correct answer is option A.
