Addison's disease is a disease caused by the deficiency of cortisol and aldosterone which are released by the adrenal gland. Tetany is a symptom characterized by muscle cramps, spasms or tremors. A common cause of tetany is very low levels of calcium in the body. Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that develops when your pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone during adulthood. Myxedema is a loss of brain function as a result of severe, longstanding low level of thyroid hormone in the blood (hypothyroidism). So, the correct answer is option A.
