Correct: C — total thyroidectomy is the appropriate treatment for papillary thyroid carcinoma in a child, because paediatric disease is more often multifocal with nodal spread and total thyroidectomy allows radioiodine ablation and thyroglobulin surveillance. Partial thyroidectomy leaves disease behind (options A and B), and chemoradiotherapy alone (option D) is not a treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer.
