Answer 1

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

Explanation:

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

Eyeballs that protrude as a result of hyperthyroidism are known as exophthalmic goiter. Excess growth hormone causes acromegaly, which is characterised by expanded bones and tissues. Elevated cortisol levels, which cause symptoms like a moon face and hyperglycemia, are the hallmark of Cushing’s syndrome. Hypothyroidism in infancy causes cretinism, which is characterised by delayed development and limited growth.
