The answer is B, D, A. Islet cell tumours of the pancreas may secrete gastrin which results in hypersecretion of gastric acid with resultant gastric and small intestinal peptic ulceration (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a result of parathyroid adenoma which results in hypercalcaemia, and deposition of calcium in and around renal tubules.

An adrenocortical adenoma may result in abnormal development due to excess secretion of androgens. Virilisation may also occur due to an enzyme deficiency (21- hydrolase).

Phaeochromocytoma (C) is a tumour of the adrenal medulla which produces hypertension.
