Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Thyroid is primarily caused by lack of iodine but there are other reasons as well that lead to increased size of the thyroid gland. Some of these reason is

a) over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones

b) Nodules in the glans

Some times, due to overstimulation immune system itself attack the thyroid gland thereby producing excess thyroxine and hence causing  the thyroid to swell

Thus, Option A is correct

Where does bone formation occur during endochondral ossification?

Bone development initiates at the primary site. The secondary (epiphyseal) site is under independent control and is ossified later (Figure 1b).
