Correct answer: A — Start levothyroxine while continuing amiodarone if cardiology agrees
Amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism is usually treated with levothyroxine, and amiodarone can often continue when clinically essential. Carbimazole and radioiodine treat hyperthyroidism. Cardiology involvement matters because arrhythmia control may be life-saving.
