The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Terms**: First, we need to understand the terms monotelic, ureotelic, uricotelic, and none of the above. - Monotelic refers to organisms that excrete only one type of nitrogenous waste. - Ureotelic organisms primarily excrete urea. - Uricotelic organisms primarily excrete uric acid. 2. **Identify the Nitrogenous Waste in Humans**: Humans primarily excrete urea as the main nitrogenous waste product. This is due to the metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids in the body. 3. **Process of Urea Formation**: The process of forming urea involves: - Deamination: This is the removal of the amino group (NH2) from amino acids, resulting in the formation of ammonium ions (NH4+). - Urea Cycle: The ammonium ions enter the urea cycle in the liver, where they are converted into urea. 4. **Transport and Excretion**: The urea produced in the liver is then transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys, where it is filtered and excreted in urine. 5. **Additional Nitrogenous Waste**: While humans do produce uric acid, it is in much smaller quantities compared to urea. Therefore, the primary nitrogenous waste product in humans is urea. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the above information, we conclude that humans are ureotelic organisms. **Final Answer**: Man is ureotelic (Option B). ---
