Best answer
The correct answer is (c) uric acid

Easy explanation: Most of the dietary purines are converted to uric acid in the intestinal cells. Chymotrypsinogen is converted to chymotrypsin by trypsin. Creatine is formed from creatine phosphate by donating the phosphate group to ADP to form ATP in presence of creatine kinase. α-amylase hydrolyzes α-1, 4 linkages in starch and glycogen to yield maltase.
