The correct answer is exoskeleton. Though cockroach has cartilage, that does not make it have cartilagenous skeleton. What is a skeleton? ......it is a frame work of an animal or insect. It gives suport and form to the animal or insect. It is for movement. Now going by dis difination, does the cartilage that cockroach has take very active part in transporting it from a point to another? Or does it makes it have form and structure? Note; skeleton is wat u see when most animal die and decay.

Cockroaches are winged insects found in nearly every part of the

world. Although they are one of the most primitive living insects,

they are very adaptable and highly successful. Some of the

species have invaded human habitats and are considered pests

since they can spread disease.

"Crazy bug"

Cockroaches or roaches belong to the order Blattaria, which

means "to shun the light." They were given this scientific name

because they sleep and rest during daylight hours and come out

mainly at night. Their common name, however, is a version of the

Spanish word cucaracha , which means "crazy bug." If you have

ever seen one running away from you in a typical wild and

zigzagging way, you know how they got their name. There are

some 4,000 species or kinds of cockroaches living in nearly every

habitat except Antarctica. All of them prefer to live where it is

warm and moist, or where they can at least get water, so it is not

surprising that they will move into people's homes if given the

chance. Actually, only about 35 of these species are ever

associated with people, and the other nearly 4,000 species live

throughout the world, although the largest numbers are found in

the tropics.

Cockroaches can be interesting, and some would even say

fascinating. They can range in length from only 0.1 to 3.2 inches

(2.5 to 8.1 centimeters). They seldom use their wings to fly,

although some can fly around. Their bodies have a waxy covering

that keeps them from drowning. They also can swim and stay

underwater for as long as ten minutes. They will rest in one spot

without moving for eighteen hours a day, and can go a long time

without food. They eat only at night. As for what they eat, they

are omnivorous (pronounced om-NIH-vaw-rus), meaning that

they can and will eat anything, plant or animal. The more we

learn about their diet, the more disgusting they seem, since they

eat everything, including animal feces. Although they will eat

wood, which is made up of cellulose, they are unable to digest it

on their own and, thus, depend on certain protozoa (pronounced

pro-toe-ZO-uh) or single-celled organisms that live in their

digestive tracts or gut, to break the cellulose down. They make

sure they always have these protozoa in their systems by eating

the feces of other cockroaches.

Words to Know

Exoskeleton: An external skeleton .

yes B is the answer because cockroaches can't possess a bony skeleton 🦴 or endo skeleton. the cockroach πŸͺ³ will live with a exoskeleton. exoskeleton are not just a skeleton but a very soft on that doesn't look like a bome but rather like a broom
cockroach can't be bony because their insecta and can't possess it .
SO OPTION B IS THE ANS. wishing you good grade πŸ™ in your JAMB
