Correct Option: A
The correct answer is Option A
The primary nitrogenous waste product produced by the majority of terrestrial insects is uric acid. Uric acid is a highly insoluble and relatively non-toxic waste product.
As a result, it can crystallise out of solution and be either eliminated as a solid waste substance with low water loss or maintained in the body.
