Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect. Echinoderms are considered as connecting links between chordata and non-chordata. Invertebrates along with echinoderms, the origin of the coelom are enterocoelic and not schizocoelic, which develops as mesodermal pouches arising from the gut of the embryo and so it is considered as connecting link chordates and non-chordates.
