Solution

The correct option is B Centrolecithal
Eggs of cockroach are centrolecithal. During cytokinesis, centrolecithal zygotes undergo meroblastic cleavage, where the cleavage plane extends only to the accumulated yolk and is superficial. This is due to the large dense yolk found within centrolecithal eggs and helps in delayed embryonic development.
So the correct answer is "Centrolecithal".
