Solution

The correct option is B
Chordates

All animals that possess a notochord are called chordates. Vertebrata is a sub-phylum under Phylum Chordata and are hence, "vertebrate" is not synonymous to "chordate". Vertebrates possess notochord during the embryonic period. The notochord is replaced by a cartilaginous or bony vertebral column in the adult.
