Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Goiter.

- It is a condition related to the thyroid gland, characterized by the enlargement of the thyroid, which is located in the neck.
- It is typically associated with thyroid hormone imbalances, particularly iodine deficiency.
Information about Other Options:
- Glaucoma: This is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure, leading to vision loss if not treated.
- Cataract: This is the clouding of the lens inside the eye, leading to decreased vision. It is common with aging but can also result from other factors such as injury or certain medications.
- Dry eye: This occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation, discomfort, and potential vision problems.
Information Booster:
Goiter can sometimes be associated with an eye condition known as Graves' disease, which is a thyroid disorder that can affect the eyes (known as Graves' orbitopathy). However, goiter itself is not an eye disease.
