Solution

The correct option is A 5th and 6th terga
The membrane between the 5th and 6th abdominal terga forms two deep pockets in the male, each pocket has two slit-like pouches which are probably glandular and produce a secretion which excites the female for copulation in the breeding season. These are called stink glands.
So the correct answer is '5th and 6th terga'.
