The answer should be ammonia. Urea is the primary nitrogenous waste product in many terrestrial animals but not in earthworms.

The correct answer is
A. ammonia

The main excretory product of earthworms is ammonia, which is removed from the body through structures called nephridia.

Earthworms are ammonotelic, meaning they excrete ammonia, especially when water is abundant.

Ammonia is highly toxic, so it must be diluted and excreted quickly — which is why it's common in moist, aquatic, or damp-soil organisms like earthworms.

Ammonia – aquatic/soil animals (e.g. earthworm, fish)
Urea – mammals (e.g. humans, lions)

Uric acid – reptiles and birds (e.g. lizard, pigeon)
