A Correct answer
Explanation

Iodine deficiency causes goitre, a condition characterized by abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck. The thyroid requires iodine to produce hormones, and when iodine is insufficient, the gland enlarges to compensate. Thyroid is the gland itself (not the disease), Pellagra is caused by niacin (B3) deficiency, making Goitre the correct answer.
