The correct option is B Chordata
Deuterostomes are a group of animals including those of the phyla Echinodermata, Chordata, Chaetognatha and Brachiopoda, who are classified together on the basis of embryological development and molecular criteria.
Members of the phylum Chordata are bilaterally symmetric, deuterostome coelomates, and the vertebrate chordates display segmentation.
