Correct Answer
A. WeeksExplanation
Cockroaches have an open circulatory system, which means they do not rely on their heads to pump blood. They have small openings called spiracles on their body segments that allow them to breathe. Therefore, even without a head, a cockroach can still breathe and survive for a few weeks. However, without a head, they are unable to eat or drink, so they eventually die due to dehydration or starvation.Rate this question:
