Answer 1

The correct option is C (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (iv), (d) - (i)

Acromegaly is caused due to hypersecretion of GH during adulthood. Diabetes mellitus is caused due to hyposecretion of insulin from β-cells of pancreas. Addison’s disease is caused due to hyposecretion of hormones of adrenal cortex. Hypersecretion of hormones of thyroxine and T${}_3$ leads to exophthalmic goitre.
