Answer: c) and b) are correct.

The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.

The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.

Explanation: The craniates include the chordata with well-defined heads. This includes mammals, reptiles and fishes. So we can discard the other answers. Because most craniates have functional jaws, and the adults do not lose their chordate characteristics. The last one does not apply as a specific feature because the tunicate have neural crest but are not recognized as craniata.

The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.

The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.

A group of embryonic cells called the neural crest form on either side of the neural tube in craniates

Craniates are members of the craniate monophyletic group of chordinates. <u>They have   a distinct head , protected by the skull made of hard bone. Some are with cartilages.</u> The skull protects the brain, paired eyes, ears and other the sensory organs.

Is it true that the Earth’s climate systems are driven by the electromagnetic radition from the sun, as well as its reflection,
nordsb [41]

Totally. Earth's climate systems are driven by the electromagnetic radiation that comes from the Sun. The incoming radiation that comes from the Sun is reflected by the clouds, passes through Earth's surface, or is even absorbed by the planet's atmosphere. The atmosphere warms thanks to the chemical reactions of larger aerosol particles in the atmosphere absorbing this radiation.
