A Correct answer
Explanation

Cockroaches can survive for approximately 9 days without their heads due to their decentralized nervous system. They breathe through spiracles (small openings) on their body segments, and their vital functions are distributed throughout their body. They eventually die from dehydration or inability to eat, not from brain loss.
