Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Iodine.

Explanation:

• Cobalt 60 is used for food preservation
• The process of exposing boxes or pallets of food products to radiation from a Cobalt-60 source is known as food irradiation.
• Ionizing radiation eliminates harmful food contaminants like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and insects.
• A frequent and efficient treatment for hyperthyroidism is radioiodine therapy.
• It entails ingesting radioactive iodine orally as a liquid or pill.
• The thyroid gland's cells that make thyroid hormone are gradually destroyed as a result. Other tissues in the body are unaffected.

Iodine treatment helps to treat hyperthyroid deficiency.
