- BA-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
- CA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- DA-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
Correct answer
A. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
Step-by-step solution
Spermatheca is a part of the female reproductive system, present in the 6^ th abdominal segment. Mushroom gland is an accessory reproductive gland present in the 6^ th to 7^ th abdominal segments of male cockroaches. Anal styles are a pair of short, thread-like structures present only in males, projecting from the 9^ th sternum. Collaterial glands are present in female cockroaches and their secretion forms the hard egg case called ootheca. Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV. Answer: A-III, B-
