Match the hormones given in Column A with their deficiency disease given in Column B.
| Column A | Column B |
|---|---|
| (a) Adrenal hormone | (i) Dwarfism |
| (b) Growth hormone | (ii) Goitre |
| (c) Thyroxine | (iii) Diabetes |
| (d) Insulin | (iv) Salt imbalance |
Answer: A
The correct matching is (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii).
Adrenal hormones regulate the body's salt and water balance, so their deficiency causes salt imbalance (a-iv). Too little growth hormone in childhood causes dwarfism (b-i). Thyroxine needs iodine, and its deficiency causes goitre, a swollen thyroid (c-ii). Too little insulin causes diabetes, because blood sugar is not controlled (d-iii).
The other options swap these, for example linking thyroxine with diabetes or insulin with goitre.
