  1. B is the answer, winners are Cynthia and nickysylva. Details below
    Hypothyroidism is a condition associated with the failure of the thyroid gland
    to produce enough thyroid hormone. Incidence of hypothyroidism increases
    with age and symptoms in the elderly are quite insidious. Life-long replace￾ment of thyroxine is required to maintain thyroid hormone levels. Radioactive
    iodine is a treatment option in the management of hyperthyroidism.
