The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Mouth Parts of Cockroach**: The mouth parts of a cockroach are classified as biting and chewing type. This means they are adapted for biting and grinding food. 2. **List the Specific Mouth Parts**: The specific structures that make up the mouth parts of a cockroach include: - **Mandibles**: These are the primary mouth parts used for biting and chewing. - **Maxillae**: These assist in manipulating food and help in the chewing process. - **Labium**: This acts as a lower lip and helps in holding food. - **Labrum**: This serves as an upper lip and helps in covering the mouth. 3. **Differentiate from Other Types**: - **Lapping Type**: This type is not found in cockroaches; it is seen in animals like dogs, which use their tongues to lap up food. - **Piercing and Sucking Type**: This type is characteristic of insects like mosquitoes, which pierce the skin to suck blood. - **Sponging and Sucking Type**: This type is found in organisms like leeches, which absorb fluids without piercing. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the structure and function of the mouth parts, the correct classification for the mouth parts of a cockroach is "biting and chewing type". ### Final Answer: The mouth parts of a cockroach are of the biting and chewing type. ---
