II, IV, VI

Option C is correct. Wuchereria bancrofti commonly called filarial worm is a digenetic, dimorphic, pseudocoelomate, histozoic and pathogenic parasite. It is digenetic because it has two stages of multiplication in two different hots, one sexual in the mature form, the other asexual in larval stages. It is a histozic parasite as it lives in the tissue outside of a cell body.
