Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
All chordates possess a notochord, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail at some stage of development. The notochord may be replaced by the vertebral column in vertebrates. Gills and scales are not universal (e.g., mammals lack both). The notochord provides skeletal support and is the defining feature of the phylum Chordata.
