Cells producing moulting hormones are
The correct option is A Trophocytes
In insects, trophocytes (adipocytes) are major cells of a storage organ, the fat body, from which stored glycogen and lipids are mobilized under starvation. However, cockroaches have 2 additional types of cell in the fat body: mycetocytes harbouring an endosymbiont, Blattabacterium cuenoti, and urocytes depositing uric acid in urate vacuoles.
A haemocyte is a cell that plays a role in the immune system of invertebrates. It is found within the hemolymph. Hemocytes are phagocytes of invertebrates.
Oenocytes are insect cells responsible for lipid processing and detoxification. Of ectodermic origin, they are found in close association with the insect epidermis, or fat body cells, or both depending on the insect species and developmental stage.
So, the correct answer is ‘Trophocytes’.
