Solution

The correct option is A Thyroid
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland located in the lower front of the neck. it is a butterfly-shaped gland. It makes thyroid hormones, which are secreted into the blood and then carried to every tissue in the body. Thyroid hormone helps the body use energy, stay warm and keep the brain, heart, muscles and other organs working as they should. Studies provide evidence that there is a complex relationship between thyroid disease, body weight and metabolism.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
