• (C) a-K, b-L, c-N, d-M
• (D) a-N, b-M, c-K, d-L

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Explanation:
The male reproductive system in cockroaches consist of a pair of testes, a pair of vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, seminal vesicle, mushroom glands, and external genitalia. Testes are present at 4^th-6^th segments while the mushroom gland is present in 6^th -7^th segments. The female reproductive system consists of a pair of ovaries, a pair of oviducts, a common oviduct i.e., vagina, genital chamber and external genitalia. The genital chamber shows the opening of spermathecae which is a storehouse of sperms. Ovaries extend from 2^th - 6^th segments and show many tubules known as ovarioles. Spermathecae is in the 6^th segment.Hence, the correct option is (B).
