Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Elephantiasis is a disease caused by filarial worms like *Wuchereria bancrofti*, which are transmitted by mosquitoes.
These worms reside in the lymphatic system and cause chronic inflammation leading to enlargement of body parts, especially the legs.
Thus, it is a mosquito-borne disease that affects the lymphatic vessels.
