Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phylum Chordata includes animals that possess a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail at some point during their life cycle. This includes vertebrates (A) and mammals (B and E) but also non-vertebrate chordates such as lancelets and tunicates. Primates (D) are a suborder within the class of mammals and are not a separate phylum.
