Solution

The correct option is D

Trachea


Insects respire through a system of openings on the skin called spiracles and an associated network of tubules called tracheae. The air enters the body of an insect through spiracles and then is circulated through the network of the tracheae where gaseous exchange takes place directly with the insect tissues.
