Answer is : (b) uric acid
Gout is caused by the deposition of uric acid in joints. Composition of kidney stone is calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, uric acid, xanthine and indigo calculi. Researches have shown that kidney stones are a complication of gout because extra uric acid can collect in the urinary tract and crystallise into stones.
