The test mentioned in the question involves radioactive iodine, which is used to monitor the uptake of thyroid hormones. Therefore, an abnormal rate of uptake suggests that there is a problem with thyroid hormone levels, making option D the correct answer. Options A, B, C, and E are not directly involved in the regulation of thyroid hormone levels, and therefore are not likely to be affected by this particular test.
