Solution
The correct option is B A is wrong but R is correct Lancelet is a cephalochordate which is not included in Vertebrata. It is included under the phylum Chordate but it is not a vertebrate. Thus, the assertion is wrong. In Cephalochordates, notochord that extends from head to tail, nerve cord and pharyngeal gill slits are present throughout their life.
Hence 'Assertion is wrong but the reason is correct' is the right answer.
