Solution

The correct option is B Periplaneta
The open type of vascular system consisting of sinuses filled with blood is seen in the cockroach. The blood in a cockroach is colourless as it does not contain any respiratory pigment. This colourless blood is called haemolymph. The scientific name of cockroach is 'Periplaneta'. All the other options have a closed vascular system.
So, the correct answer is 'Periplanata'.
