Answer 2

In this case, Arunima was suffering from Goitre which is as a result of iodine deficiency in her body. However, too much thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland can also result in Goitre.

Arun on the other hand had Adam’s apple which is found in male during puberty as a result of the growing larynx.

It becomes clearly visible when males attain adulthood. Females also have Adam’s apple but it is not prominently visible.

Adam’s apple is not a disease; hence, it doesn’t require any medical attention.
