Solution

The correct option is A Chorda dorsalis
  • Chorda dorsalis is a notochord, which is a rod-shaped body found in embryos of all chordates.
  • It is composed of cells derived from the mesoderm and defines the primitive axis of the embryo.
  • Cephalization is the differentiation of the anterior (front) end of an organism into a definite head.
  • Claws are curved, pointed appendages, found at the end of a toe or finger in most amniotes like mammals, reptiles, and birds.
  • Pharyngotomy is the surgical procedure to remove all or parts of the pharynx (throat).

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
