Solution
The correct option is BSalamandra All chordates have a post-anal tail. A post-anal tail is an extension of the body that runs past the anal opening. In some species, like humans, this feature is only present during the embryonic stage. All salamanders possess long and distinct post-anal tail throughout the lifetime.
