Solution

The correct option is A Branchiostoma
A. Branchiostoma
Reason: The lancelets, also known as amphioxi, are "fish-like" benthic filter feeding chordates in the order Amphioxiformes. They are the modern representatives of the subphylum Cephalochordata. Lancelets contain many organs and organ systems that are closely related to those of modern fish, but in more primitive form. Some common examples are Branchiostoma floridae, Branchiostoma lanceolatum etc.
