The answer is D, B, E. Graves' disease is caused by excessive secretion of T3 and T4, as a result of diffuse thyroid hyperplasia, caused by thyroid stimulating antibody.

Auto-immune thyroiditis is characterized by lymphoid infiltration and destruction of thyroid acini; Hashimoto's disease is the commonest type.
