Explanation:

The question asks for the term describing an incision of the thyroid gland. Breaking down medical terminology: "thyro-" refers to the thyroid, "-tomy" means incision. Thyrotomy specifically denotes an incision into the thyroid gland. Thyrostomy is an opening into the thyroid (not just incision), thyropathy is thyroid disease, thyromegaly is enlarged thyroid, and thyroidectomy is removal of the thyroid (not incision).

Thyrotomy
