B
There are many more invertebrates than vertebrate.
C
Vertebrates can be divided into five classes.
D
Vertebrates have no backbone.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vertebrates are more complex organisms when compared to invertebrates. The primary difference between the two is that vertebrates possess a backbone and an internal skeleton. In some vertebrates, the bones are replaced with cartilage, as seen in sharks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Differences in Physical Characteristics Vertebrates have a skeletal structure with a spinal column or backbone. Invertebrates have no backbone, while vertebrates have a well-developed internal skeleton of cartilage and bone and a highly developed brain that is enclosed by a skull.

Detailed explanation-3: -Invertebrates are animals without spines, while vertebrates have a spine. Invertebrates are sometimes (mistakenly) thought of as primitive because of their lack of developed organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simply put, invertebrates are creatures with no spinal cord or skeletal system. They are generally not complex; they have simple respiratory and circulatory systems and do not have rigid body structures. The majority of animals on earth are invertebrates.
