Solution

The correct option is D Hypersecretion of thyroid gland
Hypersecretion of Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3), secreted by thyroid gland causes Graves Disease.
Hyposecretion of these hormones causes cretinism in children and muscular tetany in adults.
Changes to hormone levels of adrenal gland can result in either high or low blood pressure as well as cause Cushing’s syndrome and Adisson's disease.
