Solution

The correct option is C (i) Gigantism (ii) Diabetes (iii) Goitre
Overproduction of growth hormone in childhood and adolescence causes gigantism, which is characterized by excessive growth and poor health as a secondary effect.
Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which the glucose levels in the blood will be very high over a prolonged period caused by the deficiency of insulin.
Goitre is the enlargement of the thyroid gland, which occurs due to deficiency of iodine in the body.
Thus the correct answer is option B.
