Solution

The correct option is C
Spiracles

In cockroaches, air enters the body through their spiracles. Spiracles are external openings found in some animal species such as insects. The function of spiracles is linked to respiration, helping oxygen to reach internal respiratory organs, such as tracheae in insects where the gaseous exchange takes place.
