Answer: Iodine

Explanation: Goiter can be defined as the abnormal enlargement of thyroid gland, located at the base of the neck just below the Adam's apple.

It is caused due to intake of inadequate amount of iodine in food that we eat. When iodine requirement is not met by the food that we eat, then thyroid will not synthesize adequate amount of thyroid hormone, that may result in the formation of goiter.

So, the correct answer is Iodine.

Healthy lifestyle provides good things to the body - so the answer is D, since it's the only good thing. Decreased area in blood vessels would again diminish the nutrition to some organs and a high blood pressure is also not good - it carries a risk of some diseases. <span /><span>
