Correct choice: has jaws, but not bones.
Explanation: On the cladogram the trait "jaws" appears at point B, while "bones" appears at a later node. That means organisms at B share jaws but do not yet have bones (for example, cartilaginous fishes like sharks and rays). The other options are incorrect because they either say no jaws or that bones are present.
