  • A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
  • A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
  • A-V, B-I, C-III, D-IV
  • A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-V
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understand the task.
We must match each hormone condition in List-I with the correct disorder in List-II. We check each one and then read off the option.

Step 2: Match Hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism means too much thyroid hormone. A well known sign is bulging eyes with a swollen thyroid, called exophthalmic goiter. So A goes with III.

Step 3: Match enlargement of the thyroid gland.
A plain swelling of the thyroid, often from lack of iodine, is called simple goiter. So B goes with IV.

Step 4: Match Hypoparathyroidism.
The parathyroid raises blood calcium. If it works too little, blood calcium falls and muscles twitch and cramp, a condition called tetany. So C goes with I.

Step 5: Match low glucocorticoids.
Too little glucocorticoid from the adrenal cortex causes Addison's disease. So D goes with II.

Step 6: Put the pairs together.
The full match is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II, which is the second option.
\[ \boxed{\text{A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II}} \]
