Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
In cockroach, males and females have slightly different morphology, hence showing sexual dimorphism. One of the distinguishing features is the presence of anal styles, (paired thread-like structure) only in males. Females lack anal styles.
So the correct option is C.
