Detailed Explanation

Option C is correct because female cockroaches possess a single pair of spermathecae, which are specialized structures that store sperm and open into the genital chamber, facilitating reproduction. Option A is incorrect as anal styles are typically found in male cockroaches, not females. Option B is misleading; female cockroach ovaries consist of multiple ovarioles, usually more than six, depending on the species. Option D is also incorrect because the genital pouch is formed by the 8th and 9th tergites and the 8th sternum, not the 9th and 10th tergites.
