• D. No image is formed

Answer 1

The correct option is B Superposition

The eye of the cockroach is compound type and is composed of many units called as ommatidium. There are individual images formed by these units as they are innervated with axon bundles which send the picture element to the brain. The final image which is observed by the eyes is the superposition of all the individual images from the ommatidia in the brain.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
