Solution
The correct option is D If assertion is false and reason is true
In Amphioxus, some exchange of CO2 and O2 occurs between the water current and blood through the gill clefts, most of the times the gill slits are used for exchange of food rather than gases
The blood in these organisms flows very close to the skin such that the exchange of gases occurs through the entire body surface
So, the correct answer is D 'assertion is false but reason is true'
