Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. Chordates have oxygen carrying pigment, known as heamoglobin. It is present in RBCs and helps in supplying of oxygen to tissues.
Non-chordates requires very less oxygen as their body is very small and they have several other respiratory organs, like tracheal tubes etc. The oxygen carrying pigment is usually absent and even if it is present, it is present in plasma.
