Female Wuchereria is ovoviviparous.Wuchereria Bancrofti requires two hosts for comple­tion of its life cycle. Man is the only definitive host and no animal host or reservoir is known for W. bancrofti. The intermediate host is the female mosquito of the genus Culex. The major vector in India and most other parts of Asia is Culex fatigans.

If this Ovoviviparous Option is not present there then you can tick on Viviparous...Otherwise, the Ovoviviparous Option is the best option
