Answer» The correct answer is Option 2. The passage talks about how Iodine Deficiency Disorders that cause mental retardation, such as CRETINISM, are irreversible once they happen, but can be easily prevented before they have happened. For the same reason, Option 1 is incorrect as cretinism can be prevented, but not CURED with regular iodine consumption. Option 3 is incorrect as the passage tells us that iodine LEVELS are declining across the world, even in countries like the US. Option 4 is incorrect because the passage tells us that IDDs are a severe problem in India, but it does not logically lead to the conclusion that Indians have a genetic PREDISPOSITION towards IDD.
