• D. Gonads

Answer 1

The correct option is B Lymph nodes

Wuchereria bancrofti is a human parasitic roundworm that is the major cause of lymphatic filariasis. They carry out their lifecycle in two hosts. Humans serve as the definitive host and mosquitos as the intermediate host. The adult parasites reside in the lymphatics of the human host. They are found mostly in the afferent lymphatic channels of the lymph glands in the lower part of the body.

So, the correct answer is 'Lymph nodes'.
