Statements I and III are incorrect because the intersection of the foregut and midgut contains the ring of gastric caecae. In female cockroaches, the seventh sternum joins the eighth and ninth sterna to develop a vaginal pouch.

Statement II and IV are correct because the hypopharynx is present inside the mouth part-enclosed cavity. Both sexes of the cockroach have a pair of anal cerci on the 10th abdominal segment, and only the male cockroach has a pair of chitinous anal styles on the 9th sternum.

Option (b) is the correct answer.
