Solution
The correct option is C
Gnathostomata
Humans belong to Phylum Chordata because of the presence of an embryonic notochord. Since this notochord gets replaced with a vertebral column in the fully developed humans, they belong to subphylum Vertebrata. Further, since they have a jawline, they belong to Division Gnathostomata. Mammalia is a class under Gnathostomata.
