Solution

The correct option is C
Assertion is correct and Reason is wrong.

The body of a hemichordate is typically divided into the proboscis, collar and trunk. However, the proboscis isn't involved in digestion as food enters directly into the buccal cavity, and progresses through the alimentary canal.
