Solution
The correct option is B Fron The 'frons' are the area of the face below the top two 'ocelli' and above the 'frontoclypeal sulcus' and in between the two 'frontogenal sulci', it supports the 'pharyngeal dilator' muscles and in immature forms it bears the lower two arms of the ecdysial cleavage lines. Thus, option B is correct.
The bit which is above the frons is known as the 'vertex. Thus, option A is wrong. The sides of the head are known as the 'gena'. Thus, option D is wrong. The exoskeleton of the head is known as 'epicranium'. Thus, option C is wrong.
