  • A Lung-books
  • B Gills
  • C Lungs
  • D Antennae
  • E Tracheal tubes
Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation:
The correct answer is **E. Tracheal tubes**.

Grasshoppers, like other insects, respire through a system of **tracheal tubes**. These tubes are part of an open respiratory system that allows oxygen to diffuse directly into tissues and carbon dioxide to diffuse out, bypassing the need for lungs or gills. The tracheal tubes open to the outside through small openings called **spiracles**, which are located along the sides of the grasshopper's body.
