The correct answer is: Nerve cord and notochord
Members possess 3 fundamental chordate characters at any stage of life :

1. Notochord - Solid, mesodermal and later on develop into vertebral column.

2. Dorsal hollow nerve cord (or dorsal tubular nerve cord or neural tube) - Hollow, ectodermal and later on develop into CNS (central nervous system).

3. Pharyngeal gill slits.

- Bilaterally symmetrical, organ system level, triploblastic and eucoelomate.
