The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Stridulatory Organs**: - Stridulatory organs are specialized structures that produce sound when rubbed together. This sound production is often used for communication, especially during mating rituals. 2. **Identifying the Organs in Grasshoppers**: - In grasshoppers, the primary stridulatory organs are the hind legs and the wings. The hind legs can rub against the wings to create sound. 3. **Function of Sound Production**: - The sound produced by these organs is primarily used for attracting mates. Male grasshoppers often produce these sounds to signal their presence to females. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - Option 1: Wings - While wings are involved in sound production, they are not the only organ. - Option 2: Legs - The hind legs are indeed a stridulatory organ. - Option 3: Legs and Wings - This option correctly identifies both organs involved in sound production. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is option 3: Legs and Wings, as both are stridulatory organs in grasshoppers.
