Type of respiration found in head louse is

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
Type of respiration found in head louse is Hypopneustic.
The head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) is an obligate ectoparasite of humans. Seven segments of the louse abdomen are visible. The first six segments each have a pair of spiracles through which the insect breathes.
The meaning Hypopneustic is having some of the respiratory spiracles lacking or nonfunctional used chiefly by larval insects.
