Solution

The correct option is C Tail of larva
Urochordates, like Herdmania have notochord and nerve cord present only in nerve stages. Body is covered by a test made up of tunicin. Notochord is present only in tail. Tadpole undergoes retrogressive metamorphosis and notochord and nerve cord is absent in adults, which is lost during metamorphosis. Hence, option C is correct.
