Question:

What is not a common feature of periplaneta and scorpions?

Respiratory organs are trachea

Excretory organs are malpighian tubules

No appendages in abdomen

Both are mostly terrestrial arthropods

Solution:

Spiracles are the small openings present along the edges of the abdomen of Periplaneta, through which respiratory gases are carried to and from tissues via small tubes called tracheae. Series of vascular thin plates called book lungs serve as a respiratory organ in Scorpion. The other features are common to both organisms. So, the correct answer is option C.
