Solution

The correct option is A Prothorax
The head is connected with thorax by a short extension of the prothorax known as the neck. Each thoracic segment bears a pair of walking legs. In the male, the fore and hind wings reach almost up to the posterior end of the abdomen, while in the female the tegmina are very short and hind wings are absent.
So the correct answer is 'Prothorax'.
