Solution : The correct option is Iodine .
Deficiency of iodine can cause the glands in the neck to appear swollen. This condition is called Goitre. Iodine is an essential mineral that is needed for the production of Thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone is responsible for regulating many bodily functions, including metabolism, growth and development. When the body does not have enough iodine, the thyroid gland overworks to produce enough thyroid hormone.
