A Correct answer
Explanation

Female cockroaches only need to mate once in their lifetime because they can store sperm in specialized organs called spermathecae. This stored sperm remains viable for months to years, allowing them to fertilize multiple batches of eggs without repeated mating. This reproductive strategy is highly efficient for population growth.
