Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To solve the problem of matching Column I with Column II, we need to associate each gland with the disease or disorder linked to it:

  1. Pituitary gland: This gland is associated with controlling various hormones, including the one that can lead to Diabetes insipidus if there's a deficiency in the antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This matches with III. So, A - III. 
  2. Thyroid gland: This gland produces hormones like thyroxine, and its dysfunction can lead to conditions like Grave's disease which is related to hyperthyroidism. This matches with I. So, B - I.
  3. Adrenal gland: Issues with the adrenal glands can cause Addison's disease. This matches with IV. So, C - IV.
  4. Pancreas: The pancreas regulates insulin levels, and its malfunction can cause Diabetes mellitus. This matches with II. So, D - II.

Based on these associations, the correct matching is:

APituitary glandIIIDiabetes insipidus
BThyroid glandIGrave's disease
CAdrenal glandIVAddison's disease
DPancreasIIDiabetes mellitus

The correct option is: a-(iii) b- (i)c- (iv)d- (ii).
