Answer:

D: Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis with antibody destruction of thyroid tissue

Step-by-step explanation:

For Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the thyroid tissue is destroyed by autoimmune antibodies. An abnormal, enlarged thyroid gland is called a goiter, and viral induced hyperthyroidism is subacute granulomatous thyroiditis. Bacterial or fungal infection can cause acute thyroiditis.
