Solution

There are various hormones in the human body which regulates various processes in the body. Increased or decreased secretion of these hormones cause various diseases.
Cretinism results due to hyposecretion of thyroid hormone. It results in stunted physical and mental growth. Diabetes insipidus is caused by hyposecretion of vasopressin hormone. Exophthalmic Goitre is also called as Graves disease. It results due to hypersecretion of thyroid hormone. It results in enlargement of thyroid gland. Adrenal virilism is a disease that results due to hypersecretion of adrenal androgens. It results in the development of male secondary sexual characteristics. Dwarfism results due to hyposecretion of growth hormone. In results in the short stature.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
