The answer is the second one (or B): thyroxine.

Explanation for each option:

  • Isthmus: This is not a hormone; it refers to a narrow piece of tissue connecting two larger parts, such as the isthmus of the thyroid gland.
  • Thyroxine: This is the correct answer. Thyroxine, also known as T4, is a thyroid hormone that contains four iodine atoms.
  • Triiodothyronine: This is another thyroid hormone, but it contains three iodine atoms, not four.
  • Pars: This term refers to a part or segment of an organ or structure, not a hormone.

Summary: The thyroid hormone with four iodine atoms is thyroxine.
