Solution

The correct option is A Nymph
Cockroach eggs hatch because of the combined pressure of the hatchlings within. Upon emerging from the egg case, or ootheca, this immature form of cockroach is known as a nymph or baby cockroach. Nymphs are bright white in color initially. Cockroach nymphs are grayish-brown in color and darken with each progressive molt. Cockroach nymphs undergo a series of molts. They emerge as full adults from their final molt.
So the correct answer is 'Nymph'.
