Answer 1

ANSWER: 4. Cushing’s syndrome

Cushing’s syndrome is a condition that occurs from exposure to high cortisol levels for a long time. The most common cause is the use of steroid drugs, but it can also occur from overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands.

While others are disease of thyroid.

Myxedema - Myxedema is a term generally used to denote severe hypothyroidism.
Thyroiditis- It is the swelling, or inflammation, of the thyroid gland and can lead to over- or under-production of thyroid hormone.

Graves- It is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid.
