The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hypognathous**: The term "hypognathous" refers to a head structure that is positioned below the body. In the case of the cockroach, this means that the head is oriented downwards relative to the rest of the body. 2. **Analyzing the Head Position**: When we visualize the cockroach, the head is tilted at an angle that is almost perpendicular (90 degrees) to the body. This positioning is characteristic of hypognathous organisms. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: "It lies hanging almost right angles to the body" - This is correct because the head indeed hangs down at a right angle to the body. - **Option 2**: "Posterior wide part is upward" - This is incorrect because the posterior part of the cockroach's body does not point upward; instead, it is oriented horizontally. - **Option 3**: "Mouth parts are directed upward" - This is also incorrect as the mouth parts of the cockroach are directed downward, not upward. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that the head of the cockroach is hypognathous because it lies hanging almost at right angles to the body. ### Final Answer: The head of the cockroach is hypognathous because it lies hanging almost at right angles to the body. ---
