Answer : The correct answer is -

A. backbone.

Notochord can be described as a rodlike, flexible structure, composed of mesoderm derived cells. It is considered as the fundamental structural element in chordates and of the early embryo of vertebrates as it plays a organizational role in the development of nervous.

In later development of vertebrates, notochord becomes a part of the vertebral column.

In other words, it gets replaced during embryonic development of embryo by backbone in higher chordates or vertebrae of the vertebral column.

Thus, backbone is the right answer.

Long line fishing, drift nets, and trawling all produce an insignificant amount of by-catch.

kolezko [41]

Long line fishing, drift nets, and trawling all produce an insignificant amount of by-catch is a false statement.

Explanation:

Bycatch fishing is "the incidental capture of non-target species” like sharks, dolphins, seabirds, marine turtles and other marine organisms while applying modern fishing gears like long line fishing, drift nets, or trawling.

Although, these inconspicuous modern fishing gears are highly efficient in catching the desired types of target fishes; these also catch significant amount of other marine species which travel along the line as a bycatch.

A huge number of exclusive marine fishes which are mostly under the endangered list and many juvenile fishes are caught as bycatch which are mostly thrown back dead overboard. Further these modern gears also endanger the marine structures like the coral reefs.
