Solution
The correct option is A Thyroid cells
Iodine taken in diet is used in the formation of thyroxine hormone. Iodine along with amino acid tyrosine is metabolised to form thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine which is stored in the thyroid gland. Thyroxine hormone regulates metabolic rate of body. About 70-80% of the iodine taken through diet is stored in thyroid cells.
