Answer 1

The correct option is A

a. iii, b. ii, c. iv, d. i

Addison's disease (occurs when the body produces insufficient amounts of certain adrenal hormones like cortisol) - browning skin, diabetes insipidus

Cushing’s disease (characterised by increased production of adrenal hormones like cortisol) - facial puffiness, buffalo hump, abdominal obesity

Conn’s disease (caused by excess production of aldosterone by the adrenal glands) - headaches, severe hypertension

Adrenal virilism (caused by excessive production of adrenal androgens) - irregular periods, baldness, male hair growth pattern
