Solution

The correct option is B Myxine
Lamprey and hagfish or Petromyzon and Myxine are both agnathans as they are jawless fishes. They are sometimes considered as the earliest vertebrates. They also lack paired fins or stomach. They have a pineal eye. The adults and larvae usually have a notochord.
So, the correct answer is 'Myxine '.
