Urate salts? What is this, a chemistry lab? I'm going to go with the safe bet and choose B) Purine.

Allopurinol, you say? Sounds like something I'd take to avoid a gout attack. I'm going with A) Uric acid.

Uric acid? Nah, that would be too obvious. I'm going with D) Pteridine, just to keep things interesting.

I believe it's A) Uric acid, that's what allopurinol is designed to lower.
