A.
Uric acid
Answer
B.
Ammonia
C.
H2S
D.
Urea

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The major waste of terrestrial insects is Uric acid.
Most terrestrial insects produce uric acid as their main nitrogenous waste product. Uric acid is a relatively non- toxic and highly insoluble waste product. Therefore, it can crystallize out of solution and may be either retained in the body, or eliminated as a solid waste material with little water loss.
