Solution

The correct option is C

(i) Acorn worm, (ii) Hemichordata, (iii) Tornaria, (iv) Echinodermata


Acorn worm (Balanoglossus), belonging to the Phylum Hemichordata, is said to be the connecting link between the non-chordates and chordates. This is because it possesses certain characters found in chordates, in addition to many of its invertebrate features. The larval form of hemichordates is called tornaria, which resembles the bipinnaria larva of echinoderms.
