CHORDATE: ANIMAL PHYLUM
The structure namely (c) GILL SLIT has cilia that creates water currents and mucus sheets that capture nutrients suspended in the water in filter feeding chordates.
EXPLANATION:
*Tunicates are benthic (bottom dwellers) or pelagic (open water dwellers) marine creatures that create colonies through asexual reproduction.
* They drink by squeezing water into their mouths and filtering it via gill openings.
* The gill slits, on the other hand, stopped functioning as feeding mechanisms and then as breathing systems when the vertebrate anatomy evolved.
