The key is A. Addison’s disease. [Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency and
hypocortisolism, is a long-term endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough
steroid hormones. Symptoms generally come on slowly and may include abdominal pain, weakness, and
weight loss, diarrhea, pigmented palmar creases and buccal mucosa].
