D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The basic difference between the two is the presence of a backbone or a spinal column. Animals like birds, snakes, and human beings are vertebrates due to the presence of backbone, and flatworms and insects are examples of invertebrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -A nerve cord is enclosed by vertebrae-individual bones that make up a vertebrate’s spine. Vertebrates have well-developed sensory organs, a respiratory system with either gills or lungs, and a bilateral symmetry with an advanced nervous system that further distinguishes them from invertebrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians are all vertebrates. Animals without bones are invertebrates. Flies, bees, lobsters, worms, snails, clams, sea cucumbers, and octopuses are all invertebrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -A vertebrate is an animal with a spinal cord surrounded by cartilage or bone. The word comes from vertebrae, the bones that make up the spine. Animals that are not vertebrates are called invertebrates. Vertebrates include birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.
