Solution
The correct option is A Thyroid
As we have studied that ontogeny repeats phylogeny which means that the developmental stages of an embryo represent its ancestral features.This can be easily visualized in the metamorphosis of endostyle. The endostyle in amphioxus(ammocoetes) corresponds to the thyroid gland in vertebrates since it seems to produce iodinated, tyrosine molecules which may function as thyroxine hormone produced by the thyroid gland.So, the correct answer is 'Thyroid'.
