Solution

The correct option is D Arthrodial membrane
In each segment of the cockroach, the exoskeleton has hardened plates; called sclerites. The sclerites are called tergites; dorsally; and sternites; ventrally. The ventral and dorsal sclerites are joined together by a thin and flexible articular membrane. This is called arthrodial membrane.
