Best answer

The correct option is (a) uric acid.

Explanation:

As a result of nucleic acid digestion, nitrogenous organic bases-purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine and uracil,) are absorbed from intestine into the blood. Most of these are excreted out. In man, purines are changed to uric acid for excretion.
