Chordates possess:
• Distinct body axis
• Bilateral symmetry
• True coelom Thus A, B and C are correct.
Step 2:
Chordates mainly reproduce sexually. Thus D is incorrect.
Step 3:
Chordates possess hollow dorsal nerve cord, not solid nervous system. Thus E is incorrect.
Step 4:
Correct combination is: \[ A,\quad B,\quad C \] \[ \boxed{\text{Correct Option = (2)}} \]
