Solution

The correct option is D

Shark


The correct option is D.

Explanation of the correct option :

  1. A notochord is a rod-like structure present in the dorsal portion of the chordate embryo; it gives rise to the vertebral column in the vertebrates.
  2. Notochord separates the nervous tissue from the gut and provides a space for muscles to attach for ease of movement.
  3. The vertebral column's primary function is to protect the spinal cord. These chordates are grouped in the phylum Vertebrata.
  4. The members of the sub-phylum Vertebrata are divided into five classes: Pisces, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia.

Final answer: Notochord is present in sharks.
