Solution
The correct option is A Cockroach In cockroach, the respiratory system consists of a network of the trachea, that open through 10 pairs of small holes called spiracles present on the lateral side of the body. Thin branching tubes carry oxygen from the air to all parts. The openings of the spiracles are regulated by the sphincters. Exchange of gases takes place at the tracheoles by diffusion.
