Read the following statements.

Statement I: All vertebrates are tetrapods.

Statement II: All the members of tetrapoda are vertebrates.

In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I is incorrect. "All vertebrates are tetrapods."

This statement implies that every creature with a backbone (vertebrate) has four limbs or leg-like appendages (tetrapod). However, this is false because there are vertebrates, such as fish, that do not have four limbs.

Statement II is correct. "All the members of Tetrapoda are vertebrates."

This statement suggests that every member of the taxonomic class Tetrapoda is a vertebrate. Tetrapoda includes amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals—all of which are vertebrates.
