Solution

The correct option is A Both B and C
Both protochordates and chordates are bilaterally symmetrical and triploblastic animals. Protochordates do not possess vertebral column. They do have the presence of notochord either in the tail region (only in the larval stage) or extended along the entire length of the organism.
The correct option is thus, option D.
