The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Structure of Cockroach:** - The cockroach has a flattened body that is divided into different plates. The dorsal side has a plate called the tergum, while the ventral side has a plate known as the sternum. 2. **Identifying the Tergum:** - The tergum is the upper (dorsal) plate of the cockroach's body. It is important to note that the tergum is part of the exoskeleton that provides protection and support. 3. **Analyzing the Question:** - The question specifically asks about the outer border of the tergum and where it bends downwards. This indicates a connection between the tergum and another structure in the cockroach's anatomy. 4. **Identifying the Connection:** - As the outer border of the tergum bends downwards, it attaches to the pleura. The pleura are the lateral plates that connect the tergum (dorsal) and sternum (ventral) of the cockroach. 5. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the outer border of the tergum bends downwards and attaches to the pleura of the cockroach. **Final Answer:** - The outer border of the tergum bends downwards and attaches with the pleura. ---
