Correct Answer: Iodine


Solution : The correct option is Iodine .

Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, growth, and development. Iodine deficiency can lead to thyroid disorders, emphasising the importance of iodine-rich foods or iodised salt for proper thyroid function.
