Which statement about German roaches reproduction is true?

• A. They Typically Produce 6-8 Egg Sacs in a Lifetime
• B. They Are Lacking Egg Sacs
• C. They Have No Egg Sacs
• D. They Hatch From Eggs Without Sacs

Answer: (A)

German cockroaches reproduce by producing protective egg cases called oothecae, which the female carries or deposits over her lifetime. A typical female will generate about 6 to 8 of these egg sacs in her life, with each sac containing many eggs, leading to rapid population growth under favorable conditions. This makes the statement about producing 6–8 egg sacs in a lifetime the true one.

The other ideas aren’t accurate because German roaches do have egg sacs, and the eggs are housed inside those sacs; they don’t hatch from eggs outside a sac, so claims that they lack sacs or hatch without sacs aren’t correct.
