The correct answer is option 3: sea weed rich in iodine content. Kelp is a type of seaweed that is commonly found in coastal areas. It is known for its high iodine content, which is beneficial for thyroid health. Kelp is also rich in other nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is often used in various forms like supplements, powders, and as an ingredient in foods like soups and salads. Option 1, sulphide mineral of iron, is incorrect as kelp is not a mineral and does not contain iron. Option 2, partially decomposed vegetation, is incorrect as kelp is a type of algae and not a decomposed plant material. Option 4, an aluminum silicate mineral, is incorrect as kelp is not a mineral and does not contain aluminum silicate.
