Solution

The correct option is D Acromegaly
Excess secretion of thyroxine causes exophthalmic goitre, while the deficiency of thyroxine causes cretinism. Iodine is essential for the secretion of thyroxine and its lack in the diet causes simple goitre. Acromegaly is caused by oversecretion of growth hormone.
