Solution

The correct option is B

1. Coxa 2. Trochanter. 3.Femur 4.Tibia 5. Tarsus.



Each thoracic segment of a cockroach has a pair of legs and therefore 6 legs in total. This makes them hexapods. Each leg has a Coxa, Trochanter, Femur, Tibia and Tarsus. These parts are arranged in such a way that they have a joint in between each of them, along with their overall bodies, classifying them under Arthropods and Insects.
