Answer: 1. Elephantiasis

Key idea: Filarial worms (Wuchereria) are spread by Culex mosquitoes and live in lymphatic vessels.

They cause chronic inflammation, which swells the limbs and genitals. This disease is elephantiasis (filariasis). Ringworm is fungal, while ascariasis and amoebiasis are not mosquito-borne.

Answer: option 1.
