Answer 1

The correct option is B Ovary

• The structure X in cockroach is identified as Ovaries.
• The female reproductive system consists of two large ovaries, lying laterally in the 2nd – 6th abdominal segments.
• Each ovary is formed of a group of eight ovarian tubules or ovarioles, containing a chain of developing ova. Oviducts of each ovary unite into a single median oviduct (also called vagina) which opens into the genital chamber.
• So, the correct answer is 'Ovaries'.
