Solution

The correct option is A Hypersecretion
  • Hypersecretion means excessive production of a bodily secretion.
  • Hypersecretion - too much of any hormone in the body is caused by a secretory pituitary tumour. Hyposecretion- too little of any hormone in the body can be caused by a large pituitary tumour, which interferes with the pituitary gland's ability to produce hormones. Hence, Excess of hormones is caused due to Hypersecretion.
So, the correct answer is 'Hypersecretion'.
