Solution

The correct option is D Ommatidia
Compound eyes are so called because they are constructed from many similar units called ommatidia. Each compound eye may be composed of several thousand ommatidia. With the help of several ommatidia, a cockroach can receive several images of an object. The compound eyes are situated at the dorsal surface of the head.
So the correct answer is 'Ommatidia'.
