Explanation / Answer

The Subphylum Vertebrata differs from the Subphylum Cephalochordata in two distinct respects i.e. In the VERTEBRATES the notochord is replaced with the vertebral column and in the Cephalochordates on the other hand the notochord is present as such.

Hence option C is correct.

The characteristic feature of the Mammals is the presence of Hair to protect the body from the effect of trmperature and other factors. And the presence of Mammary glands to feed their young ones.

Hence option C is correct.

Monotremes differ from other mammals because they lay the shelled eggs as compared to the othet mammals which give rise to the young ones directly.

Hence option A is correct.
