Solution

The correct option is A Lymph nodes
Wuchereria bancrofti is a species of parasitic roundworm, which causes a severe disease known as ‘Elephantiasis’ or ‘Lymphatic filariasis’. The swollen lymph nodes of the patient contain the parasitic worms. The female parasite gives rise to the larvae called microfilariae in the lymph nodes.
