Solution
The correct option is D Cortisol - Addison's disease
Addison's disease is caused by low levels of the hormone cortisol in the body. Cortisol is secreted by adrenal glands, which is located on top of the kidneys.
Over-secretion of growth hormone by anterior pituitary stimulates abnormal growth of the body leading to gigantism. Undersecretion of growth hormone causes stunted growth leading to dwarfism.
Deficiency of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) results in diabetes insipidus.
Deficiency of iodine in our diet results in enlargement of thyroid gland due resulting goiter. Iodine is essential for synthesis of thyroid hormones.
