The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organism**: Bony fishes are classified as aquatic organisms. They belong to the class Osteichthyes. 2. **Understand Excretion in Aquatic Animals**: Aquatic animals, including bony fishes, primarily excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of ammonia. This is because ammonia is highly soluble in water and can be easily diluted and eliminated. 3. **Define Ammonotelic Organisms**: Organisms that excrete ammonia as their primary nitrogenous waste are termed ammonotelic. This mode of excretion is efficient for aquatic organisms since they have access to large volumes of water. 4. **Conclusion**: Given that bony fishes excrete ammonia, they are classified as ammonotelic organisms. 5. **Final Answer**: Bony fishes are ammonotelic organisms with respect to their mode of excretion.
