Answer 1

Answer: (C)

14${}^{th}$

The oviducts are two short conical ciliated tubes. The oviducts run posteriorly and converge to meet below the nerve cord forming a very short common oviduct. It opens to the outside by a single median and ventral female genital aperture in the ${14}^{th}$ segment.

So, the correct answer is '${14}^{th}$'
