Solution

The correct option is C Lymph glands
Man is the only definitive host, in whose lymphatic system the adult worms are harbored. Copulation takes place when individuals of both sexes are found in the same lymph gland. Ovoviviparous females and males lie coiled in the lymph nodes. Female releases numerous juveniles called microfilariae.

So, the correct answer is 'Lymph glands'.
