D. The thyroid gland forms from a diverticulum in the midline of the floor of the pharynx. The thyroid migrates caudally and passes ventral to the hyoid bone. During this migration, the thyroid remains connected to the tongue by the thyroglossal duct. If a part of the thyroglossal duct persists, a cyst will develop, usually near the hyoid bone.
