Right option is (a) 7^th sternum
Best explanation: 7^th sternum is not involved in the formation of the genital pouch in the male cockroaches. Their genital pouch is a chamber which lies at the hind end of the abdomen. The genital chamber is bounded dorsally by 9^th and 10^th terga and ventrally by 9^th sternum. It contains dorsal anus, ventral male genital pore and gonapophysis. It is also surrounded by some phallomeres.
