Solution

The correct option is D Glycosuria
a) Tetany is caused by hyposecretion of parathyroid hormone that decreases the blood calcium level due to its increased excretion in urine.
b) The inability of the neurohypophysial system to produce ADH causes excess urine production, called as diabetes insipidus.
c) Overproduction of GH in adults causes acromegaly, characterized by enlargement of feet, hands and face.
d) The presence of a high amount of sugar in the urine is referred to as glycosuria which is an indicator of the inability of the individual to metabolize/take up sugar caused by oversecretion of glucagon.
So, the correct answer is option D.
