The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of eyes that cockroaches possess, specifically mentioning that they have one pair of large eyes. 2. **Identifying Eye Types**: There are different types of eyes in the animal kingdom. The two main types mentioned in the options are: - Simple Eyes: These have a single lens and form a single image on the retina, similar to human eyes. - Compound Eyes: These consist of multiple small units called ommatidia, which work together to form an image. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Simple Eyes**: This is incorrect because cockroaches do not have simple eyes; they have compound eyes. - **Option B: Compound Eyes**: This is correct. Cockroaches have compound eyes made up of approximately 2,000 ommatidia, which are hexagonal units that collectively form an image. - **Option C: Circular**: This option refers to the shape of the eyes rather than the type, so it is not correct. - **Option D: None of These**: This option is also incorrect since we have identified that cockroaches have compound eyes. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option B: Compound Eyes**. Cockroaches have one pair of large compound eyes, which consist of many ommatidia that work together to create an image. ---
