Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Understand the function of each hormone and its related disorder. A) Insulin — III. Diabetes mellitus
Insulin regulates blood sugar levels. Its deficiency leads to high blood glucose, causing Diabetes mellitus. B) Growth Hormone — II. Acromegaly
Overproduction of growth hormone in adults causes Acromegaly, characterized by abnormal growth of bones and tissues. C) Thyroxine — IV. Cretinism
