Answer- C. Hypersecreting adenoma
The given thyroid scan is showing increased focal uptake in the right upper lobe ofthyroid and decreased uptake in rest of the thyroid gland. This is suggestive of hypersecreting thyroid adenoma. There is no ectopic thyroid tissue, so lateral aberrant thyroid and lateral extension is ruled out. Malignancy is ruled-out as there is no cold nodule.
