The correct option is B Conn's disease
Conn's syndrome is a disease of the adrenal glands involving excess production of aldosterone (mineralocorticoid). Another name for the condition is primary hyperaldosteronism. The excess secretion of the hormone aldosterone into the blood is from an abnormal adrenal gland or glands. Two types of abnormality are seen: a benign tumour of one adrenal, called as an adenoma or a general enlargement of both adrenals, called as hyperplasia.
