Solution

The correct option is D 10
The tracheal system (respiratory system) opens to the outside through slit-like openings called as stigmata or spiracles. In cockroach, there are two pairs of spiracles in the thoracic region and 8 pairs of the first abdominal segments. Thus, total 10 pairs of spiracles are present.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
