C
Ammonia
D
Amino acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nitrogenous waste which is less toxic, soluble in water and formed during the Ornithine cycle is urea.

Detailed explanation-2: -Urea, the principal nitrogenous waste product of amphibians and mammals, is synthesized in the liver from ammonia and carbon dioxide by a sequence of reactions known as the urea cycle or ornithine cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Uric acid is the least harmful among ammonia and urea. It has no harmful effects when retained in cells and bodily tissues. In comparison to the other two modes of excretion, it is the most efficient.
