Kingdom Animalia — Biology STD 11 Science — Question

Invertebrates, bony fishes, tadpoles, etc. are ammonotelic. Whereas birds, reptiles, land snails, etc. are uricotelic. What would be the probable reason for the difference in mode of excretion?
i. Ammonotelic organisms conserve water as conversion of ammonia to uric acid requires large amount of water.
ii. Elimination of ammonia requires large quantity of water, thus ammonotelism is seen in aquatic animals.
iii. Uricotelic organisms require moderate water for eliminating urea and formation of ammonia requires expenditure of energy. Thus, to conserve water and energy, these animals have uricotelism mode of excretion.
iv. Aquatic animals can retain ammonia and store it in the body for long time.
