Solution

The correct option is B Thyroxine
Thyroxine hormone contains iodine. The thyroid gland produces two primary hormones - thyroxine (also referred to as $T 4$ ) and tri-iodothyronine (also referred to as $T 3$ ). The numbers 3 and 4 refer to the number of atoms of iodine in the hormones. Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. Iodine is found in most foods, especially seafood.
