Solution

The correct option is B Frons
Sclerites are the hardened plates, present as an exoskeleton, on the body of many arthropods, including cockroach. Dorsal sclerites of a body segment, often plate-like, are known as tergites. Similarly, the ventral sclerites of a body segment are referred to as sternites. Frons is the largest sclerite in the head of a cockroach.
