Solution

The correct option is A Nits
Body lice live in the seams of clothing, generally where it touches the skin, and only contact the body to feed, usually holding on to the clothing while they do this. However, sometimes they will move to the body itself. The eggs of lice are called nits. They are oval white cylinders (1/16 inch long).
Hence, the correct answer is (A)
