The correct answer is cretinism.

Explanation:

Cretinism also knew as congenital hypothyroidism refers to an extreme thyroid hormone deficiency in newborns. It leads to stunted growth, impaired neurological function, and physical deformities. The condition may take place because of an issue with the infant's thyroid gland, or due to the lack of iodine in the body of a mother at the time of pregnancy.
