The correct answer is D

Treatment with I-131 for patients who have Graves’disease is relatively straightforward. The disease is radio-sensitive; therefore, relatively low doses of radioactive iodine can be employed successfully.

Complications of radioactive iodine for Graves’ disease are very rare. While episodes of thyroid storm have been reported in patients who are markedly hyperthyroid, these
are so rare as to be reportable events in the literature. The most common complication is early hypothyroidism.
