    Ans (b)
    Sol. Struvite stones: These are less common and typically form in response to urinary tract infections caused by certain bacteria that produce ammonia. They are not the most common type of kidney stone.
    Calcium stones: Calcium stones are the most common type of kidney stones, often composed of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate. They form when there is an excess of calcium or oxalate in the urine.
    Uric acid stones: These stones form when there is a high concentration of uric acid in the urine, typically due to conditions like gout or dehydration. They are less common than calcium stones.
    Cystine stones : These are rare and form in individuals with a genetic disorder called cystinuria, which leads to an excess of cystine in the urine.
