Solution

The correct option is D Colleterial gland
The colleterial glands open into the vestibulum and secrete most of the protein and tanning agent. The protein may not be directly concerned with ootheca formation, while the latter probably secretes the alkali-resistant outer layer of the ootheca.
The anterior and posterior parts of cockroach secreting the structural protein which produces most of the material used in the formation of the ootheca.
So the correct answer is "Colleterial gland".
