Solution

The correct option is C Ciliary feeders
Protochordates are the invertebrate members of Chordata and include urochordates (sea squirts) and cephalochordates (amphioxus, lancelets). Cephalochordates are filter feeders that use cilia to generate a current of water and phytoplankton particles into the mouth.
So, the correct answer is option C.
