Solution

The correct option is D Spiracles in metathorax, trachea, tracheoles, oxygen

In the cockroach, the respiration process occurs through the spiracles. Spiracles are the small opening on the sides of its body. Thin branching tubes mean tracheal tubes subdivided into tracheoles, carry oxygen from the air to all the parts. Also, this opening of the spiracles is regulated by the sphincters. The exchange of the gases is taking place at the tracheoles by diffusion. So the correct answer Spiracles in metathorax, trachea, tracheoles, oxygen. Another path of air during the respiration of Periplaneta is invalid. The correct option is D.
