Solution
The correct option is B Trophocytes
Trophocytes, urate cells, mycetocytes and oenocytes are the four types of cells present in fat bodies. The most abundant cells are trophocytes that store food in forms of fat, glycogen and proteins. The little trophocytes with relatively less cytoplasm are present in hemolymph of cockroach. Mycetocytes serve in synthesis of some amino acids and proteins with help of symbiotic bacteria. Oenocytes serve in metabolic activities during ecdysis. Urate cells serve to absorb nitrogenous waste from body cavity and to convert them into less harmful uric acid
So, the correct answer is 'Trophocytes'
