Answer: Shark

Step-by-step explanation:

The pharyngeal arches, also known as visceral arches, are structures seen in the embryonic development of vertebrates that are recognisable precursors for many structures. In fish, the arches are known as the branchial arches, or gill arches.

Pharyngeal arches are organs that only invertebrate chordates have. The only invertebrate chordate among these options is C. sea star, also known as starfish, so I would say that is the organism that develops breathing organs from pharyngeal arches.
