Solution
The correct option is C Microfilariae.
Wuchereria bancrofti is a human parasitic roundworm that is the major cause of lymphatic filariasis. The third-stage infective larvae (L3) enter the blood through the wound made by the mosquito. They then migrate to the nearest lymph gland where they mature into the thread like adult worms about 3 months to 1 year later. The average incubation time before patency is about 15 months.
