Solution

The correct option is C Thorax
Thorax consists of three parts prothorax ,mesothorax and metathorax. The first pair of wings arises from mesothorax and the second pair of wings from metathorax. Forewings called tegmina are opaque dark and leathery and cover the hind wings when at rest. The hind wings are transparent, membranous and are used in flight.
So the correct answer is "Thorax".
