Solution

The correct option is A Agnathostomes
Agnatha which means 'no jaws' is a superclass of jawless fish in the phylum Chordata, consisting of both present (cyclostomes) and extinct species like ostracoderms. The body is covered in skin, with neither dermal or epidermal scales. Hagfish and Lampreys are a very common example.
So, the correct answer is options A.
