Correct Answer: Ammonotelic - cartilaginous fish


Solution : The correct answer is Ammonotelic - cartilaginous fish.

Ammonia is excreted by ammonotelic organisms as nitrogenous waste. Fish are aquatic organisms that belong to the kingdom Animalia. But not all fish are ammonotelic; some are ureotelic as well. Ureotelic organisms are those that excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of urea, and cartilaginous fishes are ureotelic in nature.
