Question

Match List I with List II:

List I		List II
A	Exophthalmic goiter	I	Excess secretion of cortisol, moon face & hypergylcemia
B	Acromegaly	II	Hypo-secretion of thyroid hormone and stunted growth.
C	Cushing’s syndrome	III	Hyper secretion of thyroid hormone & protruding eye balls.
D	Cretinism	IV	Excessive secretion of growth hormone.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
• B. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
• C. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To accurately pair each condition with its description, we must first identify the defining characteristics of each condition:

• A - Exophthalmic goiter: Distinguished by an overproduction of thyroid hormones, this condition is frequently linked to prominent eyes. It corresponds to III.
• B - Acromegaly: Resulting from an excess of growth hormone secretion, this condition typically causes the enlargement of bodily features. It matches IV.
• C - Cushing’s syndrome: Characterized by elevated cortisol levels, this syndrome often manifests with symptoms including a rounded face and elevated blood sugar. It matches I.
• D - Cretinism: Caused by insufficient thyroid hormone production, this condition leads to impaired growth. Thus, it matches II.

When correlating List I with List II, the following pairings emerge:

• A corresponds to III - Overproduction of thyroid hormone & protruding eyeballs.
• B corresponds to IV - Excessive growth hormone secretion.
• C corresponds to I - Excess cortisol secretion, moon face & hyperglycemia.
• D corresponds to II - Insufficient thyroid hormone production and stunted growth.

Consequently, the correct sequence is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II, which is consistent with the provided correct option.
