Solution

The correct option is B Lamprey and Hagfish
The elongated marine and freshwater fishes lacking a jaw and paired appendages are generally found in agnatha. The only living jawless fishes are the hagfishes and the lampreys. Agnatha is a superclass of jawless fish in the phylum chordata, subphylum vertebrata, consisting of both present and extinct species.
So the correct option is B.
