I feel like purines and uric acid are more about nucleic acids, so I'm leaning towards amino acids as the right answer here.

Urea sounds familiar too, but I believe that's more related to the excretion of nitrogen rather than the end product of protein digestion.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I need to carefully read through the options and think about what kind of information a supplier would not want to share during an audit.

Uric acid? Really? That's more of a byproduct of nucleic acid metabolism, not proteins. This question is tricky!
