Solution

The correct option is B a notochord in the tail of the larval stage
Tunicates are also called urochordates and they have notochord in the tail of the larval stage. The larva undergoes a metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a process of transformation of an immature larva into a mature adult. The adult loses its tail and hence adults lack notochord.
