Statement I: | In Urochordata, notochord is present only in larval tail. |

Statement III: | Both Urochordates and Cephalochordates are exclusively marine. |
Statement I: | Protochordates are exclusively marine. |
Statement II: | In Urochordata, notochord is present only in larval tail, while in Cephalochordata, it extends from head to tail region and is persistent throughout their life. |
