Answer 1

The correct option is A Conn's syndrome

Conn's syndrome is a rare health disorder which is caused by high aldosterone levels. Since aldosterone is released from the adrenal cortex (zona glomerulosa), it is often caused due to adrenocortical tumour.

Acromegaly is caused due to high levels of growth hormone releasing hormone.

Cretinism is caused due to low levels of thyroid hormone.
