Solution
The correct option is A Six The head of the cockroach has a distinct triangular shape. It is formed by the fusion of six segments. The head shows great mobility due to the presence of a flexible neck. The head also has appendages that bear similarity to the mouthparts, such as labrum, a pair of mandibles, a pair of maxillae and a labium.
